Lol BP1.5!! Luv it!

Someone once explained to me to think of Bipolar as on a linear continuum with Unipolar. I'm still confused but I guess treating the symptoms rather than the label makes more sense.

I too do not have any interest in putting poisons in my body as I can see what happened to TRNRMOM could happen to anyone after long term use of mood stabilizers, especially when I'm already taking other meds that could cause serious drug interactions.

I figured I'd just use the Xanax as ozzy1313 does or in the smallest dose possible on a PRN basis rather than a daily basis to control the anxiety and hypomania when it comes on. It's good to see examples of people who do this without turning into addicts. I def plan to use natural remedies though in between days that I don't use the Xanax but it's coming to a point in my life now that I cannot function on those alone.
