I'm not on medications because I have horrible insurance and it costs a whole cart of groceries to get in to see a psychiatirst. I was only on Lithium for about 6 months after diagnosis, that was a year before I got pregnant. And I kept forgetting to take them until I forgot all together. By then I couldn't get back in and then I was pregnant, so I just didn't bother.
I was diagnosed 3 years ago, was on lamictle for two weeks and I got a rash (which is dangerous) and then Lithium, after that nothing. I get 3 free visits to psychologist every year but not a pdoc. That's why my diagnosis is so weird. My old psychologist worked with me until she retired, now I need to find a new one.
