Hi,Kris, Thanks for the input.I always heard that the toughest times for those with bipolar was spring.So great to hear you've been through a good season with out hospitalization!That's huge.I know, I am going on my 4th season(fall) of independence after many years of lengthy stays.My usual pattern is still there(not great now)BUT my meds have been pretty stable for a while now with adjustments.Sounds like we share a few similarities re meds and multiple diagnoses etc.I took years and years of trials before these meds (wellbutrin,lamictal,resperidal),hard to get excited but you must be on the right road-5 months is very promising.Hears to enjoying the season of fall instead of falling as the season approaches.Jill
