mmellow, there have been several women in here with the same diagnosis. I hope they see the post and jump in.

I think the most important thing for you right now is to keep a medicine/mood journal and keep reporting to your doctor. I have a friend who is bipolar and she take Lithium and that's it. But I recall it took some time before they figured that out. Please be patient and keep communicating with your doctor and loved one. Hopefully, before olng, you will get the medication right and be able to carry on without your disease being your constant center of attention. I'll pray it happens sooner rather than later for you.
