Just getting back to something that was said earlier, I did not say that it was "impossible" to be med-free. And you can go years without an episode and hence don't need a med at the time. But when you have constant, frequent mixed state, rapid cycling epsiodes it is close to impossible to do it med-free. So if you do have constant mixed state, rapid cycling bp1, then please tell me how it is you can do it med-free, because I am a strong, smart, brave woman. I should be able to too. My original dx was BP2. I thought I was hightly functioning enough to do it med-free. I was told by more than one professional that because I did try to treat it med-free and inconsistently it morphed into BP1. And when I'm going through a good patch I come off my meds for awhile. I was told that by not staying on my meds consistently I had reduced their capacity to work effectively. Just more food for thought. I have also been told that each episode I have is going to be worse and longer. Just more food for thought. To those of you who can do it med-free kudos to you.
