MM also please consider this... Yes making a plan and honing the right tools and skills for you, maybe even some healing takes time, maybe more time than you want to give. Ditching the meds quickly is fast yes. However ditching the meds quickly also might leave you right back on them in say a week to a few months. Where the time and careful planning might make this successful for a long time to come.
The fast route , you will probably feel just as crappy as you do now, or worse off. The slow road might land you better than you have ever been before. Which outcome looks more appealing?
You know, I ditched my meds at least 20 times and every time gave me terrrible results. I finally decided to get smart about this and yes it took a lot of work and time. But I am more stable and content than I ever have been. I have some stuff here and there, but it's usually life stuff, not bipolar stuff. The saying slow and steady wins the race.. Does have some truth to it, that's why it was said.
