I was fully through menopause at age 54. At that time my BD had become the worst it had ever been...but meds started working again. I am 57 now and more stable than I've ever been.

Thank you so much sharing your story with me. I just talked to my husband and I am going to talk to my Doctor this week. We are going to discuss blood tests, and ask for a good reference on an OBGYN. I am also going to talk to my psychiatrist again.
I'm scared that if something doesn't change or continues to get worse, my husband will leave and my relationship with my kids will be damaged and may or may not get fixed.
