You've been off your meds long enough comicgeek that you're starting from scratch - it's going to be weeks before they start working. It's why we are advised to NOT stop them when we're feeling normal, because it takes ages to get them back up to a useful dosage. Which isn't usually quick enough to help us when we get into an episode.

Please keep taking the meds and this time, staying on them even when you feel normal.

I hope that you did not purge. That is horrible for your teeth (honestly, that thought prevented me from going down the bulimic route as a kid... so I tend to sorta repeat it to myself a lot).
