I've had it 3 times...that i know of. Once was due to medication. I've had my more severe symptoms in the depressive side of things. It seems sporadic though with a mood swing, granted i dont have it with every mood swing. I have psychotic symptoms and paranoia when I am not on an Antipsychotic but am not completely in psychosis if that makes sense....
It is very scary i am sorry to hear you have to deal with this. I think being on medicine is a good preventative. I foolishly stopped taking mine and started having problems again. I would work hard to keep up on self care as well as having someone in your life (I would think your spouse) who can help you if and when things starts to go wrong...
