If you are stable but just having good and bad days I would leave the medications alone and not make any changes. That is what I would do. I am stable but due to stressors and other things sometimes I have bad days.

Being bp can be difficult because sometimes you just don't know what normal is..it's good that you are asking questions. I did a mood journal and found that most days I felt really good even though I am a negative person and would have said that I was feeling bad most of the time...if that makes sense. The mood journal helped me see that I was actually feeling pretty good most days in spite of what I was thinking.

It sounds as if you are answering your own question. From your own posts it seems maybe you think you need a medication tweak. If that is what you think you need then go for it. The reassesment will be a good thing.
