Moreta, I hope you have a great day with your friend.

CheshireCatGrin, johnthorne, hop3l3ss ... I'm sorry you folks are struggling with the black bipolar--I'm fortunate that my pdoc has me on a cocktail that does a good job of keeping me balanced. When it doesn't, he finds out why ASAP & fixes it. I wish you could each get a pdoc who worked that hard & successfully for you.
In the meantime, are you on a good schedule? Doing the basics re: sleep, diet, no drugs/alcohol?
I'm wishing the best for all my fellow bipolars. Even at its best, it's the pits.

Roadie
