If you are waiting on meds to work, off meds, meds are working a little bit, or unsure?

my meds are barely working, and since im only on wellbutrin, I'm not suffering from depression but I'm having an increase in mania.

Hi, seeking!!!
Well, it depends on how you define 'unstable'. By the very nature of the illness, I'm always unstable, in some way or another.

I'm not on meds. I don't think there is such thing as stable. Even normal people have a slight rollercoaster they ride!
I guess it's just a little more extreme for us BP's

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
