I think it depends on the person.

For me, yes. I’d be bankrupt a thousand times over if BP mania had its will.

Is this your first time in treatment, or have you been on different med regimens?

It took 10 years, but I am finally inching in on a med cocktail that works for me, though Wellbutrin tends to cause me to be unable to think of a word or way to explain something or how to spell something from time to time.

It is better than depression, self harm, feeling flat, overspending, hypergraphia, the days without sleep.

I have been on so many med cocktails, I have no idea which drugs I have tried or not sometimes. But, last year, out of the blue, I got a 6 month stable period, and it was so worth it. Now I know stability (at least for a little while) is possible for me, I keep trying...because really without help and hope, I just cannot face the future.
