I used to tempt fate occasionally, but for the last couple of years been faithful to my med regimen. It's just not worth it to mess with my meds---I'm so afraid of them not working anymore and I'd have to start all over again, which would be a nightmare. So I take my pills at the same times every day and I stay pretty stable, although I've been a little hypomanic for the past several weeks. A "little" hypomania isn't a bad thing.
