It took me since late 2009 to mid 2012, to really balance out with my issues.... and Yes, they do come back every so often, but not as frequently. I found a great DR/T and she really cares about little me I can call her for any help at any time! If anything, I have come to understand I have issues.... and yes, sometimes meds CAN help.... along with theraphy. But YOU need to give it time.... Took me several years... Hugs & do not give up HOPE
