I'm with Jeffro. Prior to being dx'd I had a very rocky road. I was having episodes like crazy, mania and hypo scare me. I can be very mean, have road rage and think people are talking abt me. Lithium changed all that. I hate taking meds but I'd rather take them than deal w/ regular episodes. I've read how people go w/ out meds. I'm on a budget so organic food or really healthy food is out. I've tried keeping a mood chart and didn't stick to it. I'm a very strong woman and I don't feel like taking meds take away from my strength.
