I am coming off my meds. I don't really know what to expect. Its very hard to remember what I was like without them. General opinion ranges from 'pleasantly unhinged' to 'fucking unbearable'. I was a very different person when I started taking them with a fuckton more issues so i suppose there is every reason to suppose I will do well without them.
They dull my edges a little, they make me a little less sharp, less witty but I figured it was a pretty good trade off because I also lost the edge of me which will quite happily carve myself up and the edge which gives me what can only be described as night terrors. I lost the part of me which has bursts of random ideas and creativity but then I also hardly ever had to lay in bad and cry all day because 'if I go out bad things will happen to my family'.
Its hard to know how its all going to pan out. Personal experiences/advice welcome.

<bi-polar-bare here....been there done that....now med free. Found out that omega 3 is working very well to control all the issues and no side effects...besides the fact that it brought down my cholesterol and made my hair start growing long again. I still have some little highs and lows but nothing as rage kitty as before. Feel much better, try it out and tell me how it goes...takes one month (sometimes two depending on the person) to start feeling the full effects....you dont feel great or anything....you just feel a whole less shitty day to day.

I don't have any advice as I have no experience myself with these things, but I do hope its all going as smoothly as it can
