I read something similar one time too: that 'back in the day,' so to speak, BP had a good prognosis. Assuming that's not the case now (I don't know the statistics), I wonder if it's because of the advent of AD's and that these have caused those with BP to have more prolonged problems with it. Who knows. Or even who knows if what I read is true.

I've seen improvement over the last couple of years. Since Abilify was added to my cocktail (of Seroquel, Lamictal, and Klonopin); I think I finally found what works. I hope. And if I run out of my pain med (see thread, if so inclined) I hope it doesn't send me into an episode...
