I'm happy to hear you're doing well on your meds and have a supportive family on top of it! Some of us are not that lucky. It's good that you are aware of the possibilities of relapse and the life long battle. Since we're being honest with the downfalls please be aware that throughout your experience you may find that you need to change meds and cocktails in the future. Just never give up and try to stay positive! Keep all your appointments and be honest with your mental health team. There's many times when I didn't speak up out of fear or pure laziness and ended up in the deep end again. And please be sure to keep up with your blood tests with your lithium and drink plenty of water! While lithium is a great stabilizer and often a first approach, I got very sick on it and a fellow BP friend of mine had to get dialysis because of toxicity. But there's other meds out there! Good luck and stay positive!
