I was diagnosed with BP II four months ago, and while I'm doing better now, I am still far from stable.

How long does it take to reach stability? Or, how long did it take you?

I gave up my summer job because of my instability and just had to make a really rough decision (I'm taking this semester off from school due to my instability and meds not being quite right yet) and it sucks...My therapist has told me that many people take up to a year off to get things sorted out after their diagnosis...

Right now I'm taking Zyprexa and Lexapro, and honestly, I think that I need something added to the mix because while I like my meds, they aren't quite cutting it right now.

Ugh!
