I refuse to be over-medicated. Being under-medicated is better but I have to make some apologies to people later for my angry behaivior or anti-social. That is scary that a Dr. could put you ip for non-compliance. He's asking for lies. I like meds that let me be hypo-manic instead of manic. Lamictal made me Lamictish, spaced out, fat and moody. Iv'e been off and on meds in the past but i stay on them now bc I know bad things happen. I secretly wish I was off of them like you.It must feel good. Before the bottom drops out it's always good. But if I got so bad my kid couldn't stay with me I'd take meds. My kids come first
