It's easy to go manic and feel like you don't need meds....I,e. Me. Regretted every time. You think you can control the mood swings after being on meds so long? Yeah right. Prepare to be fired and everything going to chell in an hand basket, possibly losing your kid? I think I lost mine, but he's got his own agenda because he's 16. When he was 8, not so much. It took me 2 years to retrieve him. So sweety, don't go there, please!
