I find that on meds I respond to situational triggers and environmental triggers as opposed to the unknown triggers that I responded to in the past. I think that my moods will always be outside the "normal" range and I will always be more sensitive to changes. Knowing the triggers though allow me to attempt to mediate their effects though and that is more than half the battle. As for which symptom, all of them but not at the same level of severity as the past and predictably.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
