Hello - thanks for the welcome!

I have to disagree though - I was stable for 9 years, without psych meds and have been stable once again, since my last episode, without them.

I'd rather not put that stuff in my body unless I have to - also, as mentioned in my post, the psych meds did not work during my last episode. Infact, I felt they were making me worse. It's only after I stopped taking them and booked a relaxing and pleasurable holiday, that I finally began to wind down and start thinking rationally again.

Everybody is different and I'm sure medication works wonders for some and not so well for others.
