Mood-wise, I am doing fairly well on my current medication cocktail. Of course I want to maintain this. As for hopes for the future, I would like even stronger stability (the ability to tolerate more stress), that is long-lasting, but really therapy continues to be a part of that for me. Ideally, someday I would like my medication cocktail to be smaller. Specifically, I wish my Seroquel XR dose was lower.

In a dream situation, I wish I could just be taking Tegretol XR for my bipolar disorder, and nothing else, but I doubt that will ever happen. I'm sure I'd still be taking the physical-related meds (Synthroid and maybe propranolol). My thyroid is shot. I accept that. As long as I take Tegretol, my Synthroid dose will surely be high because of the drug interaction. That's no big deal to me, though.
