Trying to take charge of my life again

I understand your fear of going too low, which is worse in the short run than going high. But in the long run the constant highs will kill you. Do you feel yourself going low and can you do something about that (I drink some orange juice and it pulls me back up quickly) before it gets dangerous? I had quite a few lows before I finally figured out the right combination to keep me at a safe level most of the time. 9 is way too high. I would experiment (I know docs think we are too stupid to experiment with our own dosages of the meds they prescribe, but we aren't) with the 2 meds you have until you find a dosage of each that keeps you on an even keel.
