That's what I thought when I was going through the first few months after I was diagnosed---maybe I was better off BEFORE I started trying all these new meds? Of course, I'd conveniently forgotten what a hot mess I was when I first sat down on my psychiatrist's sofa, as well as all the other crazy stuff I'd done throughout my UNmedicated life.......all I could think of was how much more unstable I'd felt since starting the drugs.

Now, with the right 'cocktail', my moods are no longer in charge of me. It took four different meds to get my BP under control, but it's happened and life is good again. It will be for you as well; just try to be patient with your meds and your doctor. It really does get better!
