Best wishes for you to find the right combination that works.
This. I found stability as a senior. And also the meds I’m on, less of them too we’re not around. Even though they diagnosed me as atypical depression then bipolar they kept throwing ADs at me witch just lead to mixed moods. Once I finally realized that and said no more ADs and no more bentos I got stable.
