Yeah, my body was not impressed with lithium, no devils needed to convince me that my body and mind didn't like being numbed out and dumbed down. No matter how "asymptomatic" (read lifeless) I was.

Glad I listened to my body, its usually always right.
Like when it tells me I'm stressed and I need to chill out. i.e Headaches, zits, sentive scalp. Or that I'm gonna get sick, i.e, lethargy / exhaustion depending how long I ignore it. My body's very smart and since I suck at recognizing these things, I take my cues from her

On a side note, I minded being on Tegratol, my body didnt have a problem with it at all...

Not saying your meds are poison and you must quit. Just saying I don't believe wanting to quit is a symptom either. Not for a second, its human nature. I doubt anyone looks forward to chemo, insulin shots, ARV's and whatnot. We all want to be without meds one way or the other.

Only you can decide, adopt a mindset that will accept pills for now or pills for life, quit meds, or make peace with dealing with this "devil" indefinitly...
