I personally find that no matter what MS or cocktail I find myselfelf on, my symptoms never disappear, but they are less severe than without meds.

Since my DX has changed from type 2 to BP1 making sure I don't suffer from full blown mania has been quite a challenge so my meds have been tweaked quite alot over the course of the last year.

Parker says that if I can get through festive season without a manic episode I can reduce my meds next year.

I have issues with being medicated, but it sure as hell beats being unmedicated.

I was on Sodium Valproate for a few years and it agreed with me, but I had to change my MS after it started taking away my appetite.
