So I am on meds for other meds. It is polypharmacy. I exercise 5-7 days a week, eat heathy. I took b vitamins but my level got too high so I backed off. I am wondering what else I can do to support myself naturally. Any comments or suggestions appreciated.
A friend who is bipolar actually only told me a couple of weeks ago that if you're manic and you exercise it will make it worse. Only exercise when you feel normal or depressed.
