I'm off all meds too. One by one over the last seven years or so since my diagnosis, medication has either stopped working or had serious side effects. The last batch triggered seizures.

I won't lie and say it hasn't been difficult. It has. At least I don't spend most of my time sleeping. That is one positive outcome. I resolved to go out more, although going about in public is sometimes like walking on knives with bare feet. When I was medicated, I simply went nowhere. As I said, I slept most of the time or hide behind my computer.

I'm going to investigate TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) with a doctor's appointment coming up this week. It is a new therapy that uses high-powered magnets to reconfigure the brain. I don't know anyone personally who has had this, so I would love to hear from someone who's been through the treatment and can provide first-person evidence on its effectiveness and any side effects.
