Meds helped completely alleviate the raging irritability and fits and shallow the great troughs of depression. I am functional. I'm BP 2, so my doc changed up my meds and I'm on Lamictal, Sertraline, and Ritalin. The Ritalin was the biggest surprise. Instead of revving me up like I thought it would, it evened out my ragged temperament.

I like being functional and in control.
