Gen what do unmedicated ppl die of exactly? Shortened life span sounds like a poorly thought out scare tactic. Pls, no BS about suicide stats, they're incorrect cos unmedicated ppl arent in the system. The figures are bogus.Lauru Meds DO NOT stop cycling. This board would have all of 5 members if it did. That is an inaccurate statement.OP meds & alcohol have fkd with your memory. Do exercises to strengthen your brain & it should return, I felt like a retard on lithium so I sympathize.
