May I know what are your reasons?

I am also doing it without meds... because I just don't want to spend years and years discovering the right combo - I am afraid I might lose the real me under all those chemicals. Or that it may shatter the fragile balance I created, my inner peace and sense of serenity...

I guess it depends. If you are doing well (I would judge it on level of functionality... I do get real rough patches, but I manage to get through. Not that it did not bother me, but I see that people on meds still get episodes... so I am not sure I am willing to take chances.... I am used to feeling the way I do, and I learned to deal with it), I guess it is alright to continue the way you do. It is nice to have some support system (although it may be hard to find).

It is your choice. I don't think meds are something one should just try as some of the side effects can be long term... depends how you feel and if you think it is worth taking chances. We never know how it may go if we tried the other way...

be well.
