I've battled the symptoms since I was 14. I had a great 6 months up until February. During my brief "remission" I had to stay on my antidepressant, Clonazepam and Seroquel but went off Lithium, which I'm so grateful for. Lithium is harsh.

Now the symptoms are back and the doses of my meds have been increased but I'm refusing a mood stabilizer, well for now anyway.

I find remission can really screw with your head. I convinced myself that it was never going to come back. I was devastated when the symptoms returned and am having to come to terms all over again that this isn't going anywhere.
