Hi y'all! I've been working on stabilizing my bipolar with medications for the last year and a half...we've finally gotten it tweaked so that I'm doing pretty well! I still cycle back and forth every 2/3 months. I'm functioning well regardless. My highs are enjoyable but not too high, and my lows are characterized by low energy, low self-esteem and a groggy brain, but not terrible melancholy. So, I could go on like this without too much trouble...but I'm interested to know if there is anything I could do to stabilize myself even more. My pdoc thinks this is about as good as we'll get with meds, but it's still disconcerting to me to have such opposing ways of viewing the world...I still feel like Jeckel and Hyde. Is there any advice on alternative meds/therapies to stabilize my moods even more, especially the depression end?
