Everyone is different, and it can be different drugs and doses to get it right. Part of it recognizing behaviors and working with them.

Thanks. Honestly my behavior and outlook is pretty great considering how potentially severe my individual case is. It’s more the symptoms that drive me nuts. I deal with them well, but I’d rather they be lessened than be constantly contended with.

Thank jeebus my job involves interesting multitasking.
