Just FYI, there is more choices that "meds free" or "stable" and gosh, they often ain't choice. Are you telling the huge chunk of this forum from whom meds ain't work that they choose to be unstable?

Imho, sometimes the best thing to do is start blank slate, especially when you get to the point where you don't know where side effects end and your condition begins. Yes, those mind altering drugs (however FDA approved) can sometimes worsen your state.

to OP... if trying this med and that med and another med didn't work so far... maybe there is nothing to lose with trying other things. You can always go back on meds and with all the chemicals out of your system, you may be able to determine more clearly what is actually working and what is not.
