For us it was 3 years total.
Those of you with Bipolar (or know a loved one with it) how long did it take (months or years) to be regulated on a medication "cocktail?"
Typcially, it's an ongoing process. Medications often have to adjusted and readjusted to find something that similates some level of control .. But, that juggling act never ends. Things change .. Adjustments need to be made .. The drug industry is always coming up with better options .. And again adjustment after adjustment.
Like I said .. It's an ongoing lifelong process.
