What does being stable. actually mean and consist of? Maybe a better question would be is this. I'm on 1000 mg Depacote daily. I still have insomnia, I still get irratable easy, I still have periods of extreme up and extreme down, and I still am getting bad thoughts every now and then. I am only 7 months into this with 30+ years unmedicated. Am I being way too impatient, or do I need to seek a different treatment route?
