I know when I am not depressed, I am just baseline. I know that if I stop my meds... for any reason, it would be catastrophic. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that as soon as they stop feeling depressed, it is okay to stop taking meds. You should not do that without first consulting your doctor, as some medications need to be reduced slowly.

If you're not feeling depressed, that's great! It means the medication is doing its job. I have days where I can be totally manic, then calm down (baseline) and then drop into depression... so I have to be careful. Sometimes I am just baseline all the time and will have a few days of depression... it all depends. Brain chemicals and medication are so touchy, if you get on the right combination of medication, you should feel able to cope. There will be days when you might get the sads, but not become fully depressed. It's a sign that the medication is working in some circumstances.

Hopefully you will be doing the work with a Psychologist as well as being on the meds. I guess it would be a thing between you both, how yourself and he/she feels you are doing..
