I totally agree. If a med caused bipolar symptoms it is a side effect of the med. If you tried to harm yourself coming off meds and haddnt even considered that before it is a side effect or withdrawal from the meds. It is a fact that bipolar is overdiagnosed and ppl with ligjt symptoms are over medicated and then ths medicine becomes the problem
That being said for those who have a condition that needs meds i am all for it. But for myself i refuse to be put on 20 meds And at crazy doses
I have seen pppl worse on meds or unfunctional in life because of meds
Thats not "getting better" to me

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
