Sorry, I should have been more clear...I just re-read my post, and I did make it seem like meds didn't play a role in my current good mood control. I do take an antipsychotic and two mood stabilizers and can't conceive of managing bipolar without the meds (in conjunction with therapy as you said). I just meant that my psychiatrist won't recommend a med change if it's something that is better addressed by therapy. For example, I recently had to have my dog put to sleep and have been very down--but that type of sadness was much better dealt with in therapy than with a med change/increase that might have masked the sadness to some extent, but would have caused weight gain and made me more sluggish. Sorry if I was unclear!

Best,
Hope
