Bottom line: live with meds. You may find that living without them causes you to struggle to cope with and manage your illness. It's really an illness, you're really sick, and you may really need meds to keep things under control. I don't think we can look too hard at long-term effects of meds if the short-term effect is an unstable life.
Sorry I can't support your wish to be med-free. If i had seen it work more, I'd go there. I wish you the best, and hope you are receiving appropriate care.

1) some don't percieve it as illness per se. There is not proof of what it is.
2) Meds are not "the best" option for everybody. For some the cost benefit scenario comes out as... meds aren't the winning solution.
3) med free doesn't neccessary mean more unstable then with meds.
4) Seen it work? There's few unmedicated members here, so maybe you are selectively reading?
5) if you wish to jump down on people for wanting to go medfree crazyboards.org may be good place for you. This is, however, more open minded places... and thanks God for that.
