I agree that if your stable you may want to consider taking what you have been. If you want to be med free go somewhere else. Another doc can help you taper off. I'm not going to tell you whether or not to take meds. If you've been med free before and had no symptoms that you can't handle go for it. It's for you to think abt how you function on and off meds. For me I'm very symptomatic off meds. I was off the rails. I'm not interested in being in the hospital time after time. I had a job coach refuse to place me on a job because he said I would probably become a felon. I had no problem fighting, assault someone with a bat or shooting someone. I have BP1 which is really bad bipolar. I've decided to take meds. Before I didn't know I had it. I don't enjoy taking pills but it beats the mental hospital over and over. It beats being in prison for kicking someone's ****** or shooting them.
