There are still delusions and there are rapid mood swings, no substance abuse issues though - it was a low dose SNRI that activated him after 4 months. Think there have been signs for a couple of years though. We have three more weeks of the invega to stay in his system, after that if he refuses meds who knows what will happen.
Mood stabilisers stop the highs and the lows. I take Depakote, Lithium and Seroquel daily regardless of whether my mood is up or down.
Depakote is the only drug I致e taken that has successfully stopped suicidal thoughts.
