This is great! I am really happy for you! A record of 15 years without med changes is almost unheard of these days and definitely would make me want to consider this option. Like you, I badly need to prevent mania, but I also need sedation for sleep. Are you able to sleep without sleeping agents at all?
Thanks for this!
