That kinda makes me want to cry. I was really hoping that when my life stressors settle down a bit I could try to go off meds for another 10 years (or more!). Though it was probably only my 3 pregnancies that helped moderate my bipolar effects. They say pregnancy can exacerbate bp, but for me it seemed to calm it down.
