well I know my hubby will hit a point where he feels so good for so long that he must be cured, so why take meds he doesn't need? Just a few weeks ago he was going to stop again but we discussed it and I pointed out what happens EVERY FREAKING TIME he stops so for now he's still taking them.

My sister would quit because she missed being manic. She said the pills made her feel fake and flat. That on them everything was gray and she wanted to live in colour

I'm not medicated right now because I can't afford to see a T and the Pdoc won't see me unless the T sees me and I just can't afford the copay PLUS the cost of the meds. I know it makes me a bit of a hypocrite to gripe at him to take his meds when I don't have mine. But because of his medicare his appointments/psych meds are free OR $3. Wish mine were

I'm sure other people have other reasons too
