With Bipolar
 

Is it normal to experience lows even while on decent meds?

I am Bi Polar too and I think it is normal to experience lows while on decent meds.

Thanks x

I'm bipolar too and also think this is normal.

I think so, I did but it wasn't *as* extreme as when I'm off them

Yes it is. Sometimes medication takes longer to help in some people, we're all different, try not to worry.

Thanks for the replied everyone. I feel like my meds work, like they are the right ones, but I am still having a (admittedly not as bad!) low...

Yeah I think you can still.

Yes.
I have been on loads of different meds and none have gotten rid of my depression they just give me less sever depression.
Same with my manic side, I still get manias but only light hypomania not fill blown mania :)

Thanks, everybody.

I will talk to someone about it. Last doctor I saw was a patronising... twit... but next time lucky?
