Q:  Waiting for Time to Remove Depression Phase?

Hi,

I have recently had a bipolar epesode. I have gone through the manic epesode.  I am now struggling with the depression phase. It does not look to be sever depression, and my doctor is keeping me on depekote and zyperxa. Does that mean he is waiting for the time to remove the depression phase.

thanks


Dear Mike -- 

I’ve gotten way behind on replies so am opting for now to be "short and sweet" (hopefully, and hopefully still useful):

Not sure I follow your question but here goes -- 

"Does that mean he is waiting for the time to remove the depression phase."  I'm going to guess you mean "Does that mean he is waiting for time to remove the depression phase."   Answer: yes, that would be a wise move in my opinion.
