Of course. It can happen for spurts. But it just is not the nature of the bipolar illness for most of us. It is an ever-shifting set of neurobiologic circumstances.
Hang in there! You will get through this!

I have to respectfully disagree. I've been on a static regimen for some 5 years, have episodes only(?) about 2-3 times a year, and each time either my AP is temporarily increased or an additional AP is temporarily prescribed. This is how my pdoc roles and I like it. If my current regimen is working, then let's leave it alone and only make temporary changes when needed. In any case, what works for me may well not work for others.
