Im on all the bipolar meds but still have depressive and slight manic episodes. Im stable for some time and feel great then suddenly feel really low and feel like drinking to get out of that state if only for a moment. On the other hand the euphoric mood is equally as bad. These are by no means as bad as when I was not taking any meds. I thought that with meds and therapy all the symptoms would go away. But it seems its going to be a lifelong fight. Which worries me. Its frustrating.
