Yea, I've tried going without medication every manic episode, only to end up with severe psychotic symptoms and forced by my family to go back to the psychiatrist for another medication. I certainly won't say it can't work, but thus far it hasn't for me. And I'm the one with the R.D. Laing quote as my signature - isn't that a bit ironic?
