I'm the same way. My med cocktail works so well that I question my bipolar 1 diagnosis and think maybe I'm not anymore. I have one hypomanic episode in the spring and a mild depression during the winter, and that's it---otherwise I'm good all year round. I haven't had a serious manic episode in four years, or a bad depression in three.
Then again, I have my blog entries to prove that I have been VERY manic in the past, and I'm only sane because the meds make me that way. Hmph.
