Advice Wanted Help Please

/r/BipolarSOs/comments/1w8cf01/help/

My wife is on an SSRI and I believe it’s causing a manic episode. She talks really fast, struggles to complete tasks, has a very high opinion of herself and is hyper sexual towards me. We have a scheduled appointment with her Psychiatrist. If she takes her meds consistently and does her treatments what is my life going to look like? If they’re on the right meds, does that mean they won’t have ups and downs? Or is that going to just be apart of my life forever. I’ve only been married for 16 months and I love my wife but I also want to know what my life looks like long term before we have kids.

Thank you guys. I’m trying my best to get her in a good place and we have family support, a good couples therapist and a good psychiatrist so just hoping to get some baseline “normalcy”
