That's a good answer. It's great you were able to adjust your meds last time and stay out of hospital.

I agree. I also find meds treat some of my symptoms but not all of them. Bipolar also has many symptoms. That's why people are on so many different meds sometimes.

For instance my psychosis seems controlled but not my depression. I can take wellbutrin but that only helps me if I am extremely depressed and then I am just back to my normal depression. It doesn't help me any further, nor does anything else I have tried.
