Hi @Nammu, thanks for your message... well, it's hard to argue with my doc when he'll give no reasons at all. I also find raising the meds very advisable around key dates...but...I'll keep digging or else I'll face another visit to hospital by ambulance . I truly don't know what to expect because "a plan" or strategy has not been clearly explained to me. He wants, I believe, to be alerted by my family and then decide what to do, but...this strategy has failed 6 times out of 7, more or less... what else do you (or others) do to prevent manic states and psychosis? 1.nutrition? 2.sport? 3.spirituality? 4.mutual help among sufferers? Here, where I live, only the medication factor has been stressed, the rest I must find out on my own.

I'll go jogging now. See you guys around. Cheers.
