I'm living unmedicated to but not by choice. I don't have any insurance so yesterday I spent hrs on the phone trying to find a sliding scale clinic I can get into. I was told I would need to fill out some forms and then it would be 3 wks before I would get meds. Lithium has its drawbacks but it keeps me from going into that black hole. Un till I can get on meds I'm trying everthing I know just to make it through this. I just wish that I could get on my meds and stay on them without having to go off them cold turkey because I can't afford it.
