Over the last few months I have been exploring the idea of getting off of my meds safely and under doctor supervision. My dx is Bipolar II with Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm also an alcoholic but I haven't had a drink in over two years. I'm not able to accept the fact that the way I am now is the way I'm going to be for the rest of my life. I've always been a very driven person and I no longer am because of the sedating effects of my meds. I can't stand living like this anymore and I feel that I need to do something about it. Is there anyone on here who is successfully living with their mental illness without meds?
