I sure did. I was originally told I was bipolar I believe when I was 19 or 20. I was like "whatever" and didn't take her prescription. Next thing I knew I was living halfway across the country because I was in love (of course that didn't work out). I did take medication on and off just because I was hospitalized at one point so I figured I should. But I went to a pdoc in 2009 and the Trileptal helped me to feel "normal" and I've been on it since. Sure there have still been some ups and downs, but everything makes sense now. I have finally accepted it.
