Are any of you opting for no meds or trying to manage with other methods?

I resisted meds for a long time, many years ago. When I finally got my current diagnosis and meds to treat it, my world became much better. I was able to do things I never dreamed possible, such as getting a master's degree and buying a house. I still have some very bad times, but nothing like before the meds. I would never, ever stop them voluntarily. Actually, I sometimes feel so good that I convince myself to cut back, or stop, one of my meds. I always go back. Pdoc supports this -- I never ask in advance and he never tries to stop me. I guess he knows what will happen. I never stop all meds.
Interesting question. We are all different.
