I honestly don't know. Just know that medication, while useful is hardly ever the complete answer. Don' t be surprised if they tweak and tweak and keep tweaking your meds.

I think the most important thing is to know yourself. Know your triggers. Know what tends to happen first when you start to get hypomanic/manic; it is always lack of sleep for me. Always reach out to your pdoc and/or therapist for help when you need it. Go to the ER if necessary. Just take it one day at a time.

But I think most important is to get help when you need it.
