Boy, I used to think being med free would be awesome. That was when I was just dealing with depression. I could go off for a while but the depression always kept coming back. At some point I gave up on being med free. Then I was diagnosed as bipolar II and now there are more meds and most of the time the don't completely work, but I can't see getting off of them as I would be a basket case. So I take them everyday and hope for the best.
