I still have down days, but I think they are in large part due to situational stressors now. I have a lot of anxiety, but xanax is a good drug for me and gives me a lot of flexibility in controlling things. Memantine seems to be going the distance. Abilify seems to be good for reducing apapthy. Sleeping issues are still there, but it's improving gradually.
