It's nice to see you again, Crook! I always like to read stories like yours, that give hope to others that bipolar disorder can be managed well. How nice that you found an effective medication and work situation. I imagine that those 4 weeks between blood tests go fast. I remember even with Lithium blood testing it seemed so frequent. I ended up on a first name basis with the phlebotomists where I got them done.
