I was hospitalized and diagnosed with Bipolar 2. I sorta agree with it and sort of not.

The doctor put me on Depakote and Wellbutrin and I've decided that I am not taking either of these. After a good deal of research on all of these types of drugs, medications are NOT the right path for me. I don't even take anything for a headache. I don't even have my vaccinations. I don't agree with the side affects and I don't feel the need to poison my brain.

I've been doing a good deal of research on on other methods and therapy and I think I will try anger management classes, look into CBT and a combo of a lot of vitamins and minerals, amino acids and the like.

Of course this will be a hardcore, ongoing thing and require a lot but I'm willing. I would rather be depressed my entire life then take those meds ever again.

And no, I don't want to try anything else as I just don't want to. I don't really believe psych meds help too many people. Some but not many.

Anybody doing this and have any advice or pointers?
