> I was on the med roller coaster for many years, too. I finally decided it was time to get off, realizing that the meds weren't stabilizing my moods at all - in fact, they were actually causing instability, and of course, caused side-effects. I knew I needed to abandon the wish to be "happy", and to stop chasing my tail in that regard. After more than 7 years, I'm slightly better off than I was with the meds, and that's OK. I wish you luck!
I am pretty similar to Ron.
Off meds for a couple of years. Feel much better off them than on. They were causing all sorts of mental problems, confusion, anxiety etc.Just be a little careful coming off them, your body and mind can react quite violently trying to readjust to life without chemical modification.
Good luck whatever you do. Hope it's easy for youl.
