I think about getting "clean" all the time. I mean for the last 4 years it's just basically been one drug trial after another after another. I love the idea of just getting off drugs altogether, at least for a while. But my psychiatrist doesn't think it's a good idea for me to go off lithium especially, because I tend to get pretty agitated and suicidal and generally flipped out. And as much as I hate to admit it, I kind of agree with him.But the problem with the stimulants and other ADD drugs and most other drugs is that they never worked in the first place. It's not like they worked for a while and then pooped out.
So I don't know. I'm very distressed and upset about this whole situation. I'm really at the end of the rope with drugs. So I feel like I need to look into other (non-drug) options for treatment.
