I started showing symptoms when I was 16 but it was the 90's and bipolar was still an elusive dx for a teen. I started meds around age 23 and at about age 28 they were solid. I have been on the same meds for 17 years with some periods of non-compIiance so roughly its been about 10. I still have had some episodes over the last 10 years but very few and far between and it really came down to a better dose of geodon that saved me,
