> I think doctors tend to over medicate bi polars with their mood stabilizers - god forbid they become hypo manic or manic!...When I get my levels tested, I'm way off-target for the recommended therapeutic level of Depakote. Yet, regardless of the numbers, I'm functioning fine and have not been manic in years.
I agree with you. Yes, there are some people who are in danger of quickly becoming manic if they are not on official therapeutic doses, but there are also plenty of us who do well, or even better, on less.
