I guess this is a thread just to see how we're doing. I'm good, stable now after 3 months off the meds (which didn't work out) and now I'm back to full-dose. I guess the only complaint I have is the lack of energy, but my gf got me some b-vitamin pills and they are helping with that. I know now I have to stay the course of medication. I do miss the energy, confidence, and motivation I had with the mania. But I don't miss the agitation, irritability, and near-complete lack of impulse control involved in it as well. Bipolar kinda sucks in that regard. I know what I am missing, but I also know what I don't miss. Too bad we just can't get the good feelings without all the negatives.
