I am currently on just Lamictal and will start lowering my dose to taper off after the hoildays. My Pdoc and I agreed to give it a whirl since I have so many side effects and I generally have very little faith in Big Pharma.

Being med free isn't just about tossing your meds out , you need to have a huge toolbox of coping skills and know how and when you need to use them , and self awareness to realize an episode is heading your way and taking steps to handle problems as they come, A good support system is needed.

It's also really about lifestyle changes that need to made that is also helpful.

Meditation, yoga, exercise , diet, sleep hygiene, healthy diet and the list goes on and on.. and sometimes you just need to white knuckle the episodes and hang on for dear life, and ride the wave out.

We have a large group of medfree people here. I'm sure they will come along and tell there stories.

Taking medications is a personal choice and many factors need to be considered... There is no right or wrong answer.
