Q: Is it possible for a successfully medicated person of 2yr fall back to square one?
How are you doing? I see that no one ever answered your question, and I hope you've found help before now.
Breakthrough episodes can happen, and that may be what happened to you. It's also common that after awhile medications need to be adjusted, and your episode is a sign that it's time to go over your meds with your doctor.
Please let me know how you are doing!
