I have not been on other boards so I have no point of comparison, but here it seems that people always discuss things freely.

Very few people who are not on any medications have cholesterol as low as mine, blood pressure as low as mine and blood sugar as low as mine, and these are the main parameters of metabolic health. What would I achieve by going med-free? What would be the benefit? Yes, I saw that marijuana appears to be an effective alternative treatment. Usually, being off drugs for even a couple of days caused symptoms, but not last time when I was off drugs (due entirely to my stupidity) for several days but on nightly THC and asymptomatic. Completely asymptomatic and with a clear mind. So, that may be an alternative path. Maybe marijuana can substitute for Lithium and Geodon and I can keep taking a little Prozac as an AD (marijuana does not work as an AD). Again, when I start paying for drugs, I might be drawn to trying to go off them and live on THC alone (plus some Prozac, which is old and cheap). But now that the drugs are free, why would I want to start experimentation? I do not get it. Everything is 100% good, no cycling at all. I am not too slow - I am able to chase and catch a frisky runaway cat - but not too fast, either - I am able to do a boring job at work that requires repetitive actions and attention to detail. So I am just right, always. Why would I want to disturb this equilibrium and try different approaches? What for? I do not have any bipolar symptoms.

And thinking that meds are just like supplements helps me take them all the time without resentment. Part of it is just naturally strong memory, but part of it is attitude. I keep reading about people irrationally forgetting to take the medicine they have paid good money for. There is probably some underlying resentment which explains what otherwise appears to be irrational behavior. Rationally, if you do not want to take the medicine, do not buy it. If you have bought it, take it.
