I've been nearly perfect with my med regimen, which means I get VERY frustrated when I have a relapse. Sometimes I wonder why I'm taking all this stuff if I'm just going to keep getting sick. Alas, I have rapid-cycling bipolar and I'd be totally screwed if I weren't taking them, because I'm older and my BP has gotten worse with age. But the mood swings are getting more manageable, even if they do appear with greater frequency than I would prefer, and that makes it worth the hassle of swallowing pills twice daily.
