I`ve been diagnosed with bipolar 15 years ago and still I`m not having a life. I`m up and down every day with maybe a week or so that I cope better. My family suffers as well as me. I hate changing meds all the time. I go for counceling that drains us financialy. I just wondering in this time of people kowing so much, how come bipolar cannot be tested for right doses of meds.

Not sure about serotonin, but can have blood test to check for Lithium level, Tegretol level, Volproic Acid (Depakote) level.
