Stable?: From your meds i'm guessing you may have bipolar disorder. If these are working, you should have some improvement in your symptoms. Finding the right combination of medicines in severe, chronic conditions can be challenging -- but is possible. You may even need a different mood stabilizing medicine than lithium. Please discuss this with your psychiatrist. Working together, things can improve.
