My boyfriend was recently diagnosised as bipolar. He started a new mood stabilizing medication in the last week and a half and it has had interesting results. On one hand, his mood does seem to be stabilizing but on the other hand he seems to be more manic than ever. I really love him, have been best friends with him for 7 years and really want to support him as he is getting better, but it is really taking its toll on me physically and mentally, so I guess I'm just looking for some hope and support. I know that we are just a few short weeks from diagnosis but I worry already that he may not get better, that his moods may not stablize. If there are people with successful treatment stories or suggestions I would love to hear them.

Thanks everyone!
