Hi - I have a question - do you use medication for bipolar? My ex husband who's drug of choice was cocaine is also bipolar. He was diagnosed right before we were married (which was over 8 years ago) - we were divorced last year.

He went on a cocaine binge last winter and ended up in rehab...then basically relapsed from March-sept. This was his 4th time in rehab.

He is now in sober housing and is actively working recovery, but has been off his meds 6 months....thoughts on that? He said he is meeting with a dual diagnosis provider (not sure I believe him) and he is "all over the board" right now. I am concerned about him being somewhat manic as he is "happier than he has ever been" so I am not sure if it is on the verge of getting manic?

Thanks for your post - curious for any thoughts.
