I cannot believe how much better I feel starting from yesterday... it is almost as if SNAP! and the clouds of depression were just washed away. I got to see my pdoc, too, and she was able to verify that this is not mania, but actually might be my new "normal"!

It has taken a few months and a few meds to get here. The combo I am on now has been what I have been on for a full month, and waiting for them to kick-in was excruciatingly difficult.

However, I am so grateful for my wife for her patience and love, my pdoc for her amazing encouragement and ability, and this community that helped me make it through the tough weeks. A big thank you to you all!

I might be able to write a success story here pretty soon just giving it another week or so to see if it sticks!
