I've had an epiphany...
I was diagnosed bi-polar and BPD when I was 17 (I think I was just going through a teenage thing, but my mother wanted me medicated). So I tried them all. When I finally found a good combo of drugs that didn't turn me into a zombie or a crack head I stayed on them until about a year after I moved to Germany.
About 6 months ago the Army mental health people refused to see any civilians because of troops returning from Iraq. They wouldn't even refill my meds because I wasn't a soldier. So I decided to quit them all together. I went through withdrawl for a month or so and then was fine.
The problem that I had an epiphany about had to do with the effects of the drugs. I had a normal, frisky sex drive until I started taking this shit. It all went to hell, very slowly, so I thought there was something wrong with me. But my libido has been gradually coming back, and now I'm a total sex kitten.
Moral of the story: be crazy if you must, not medicated.

your history is very touching. I had to pass a interview in a psychiatric hospital recently and I feel that scary enough...

congratulations on the return of the sex drive!
