DO NOT STOP TAKING YOUR MEDS AS SOON AS YOU START FEELING NORMAL!!! That is a very tempting thing to do, after all, you feel normal again, and maybe the doc was wrong about the diagnosis. Well, the fact that you start to feel better does not mean that you dont need meds or that you were mis-diagnosed, it simply means that the meds are working. And try to eat a balanced diet, lots of veggies. If that is a bit overwhelming, then take supplements. I was diagnosed with bipolar II four years ago, and I find that eating healthy/ taking some supplements helps me. But the illness is still there, it cycles, mostly for me its the depression that is the issue. Just hang in there. My brother has the same diagnosis as me, and he has a reqlly busy life, with his family and his work. And he has been pretty stable for five years. Me, on the other hand, have a harder time with my bipolar. I am not as stable as he is, and I am not able to work for long periods of time. So just remember that this illness manifests itself in various ways in different people.
