Worsened.

I function more or less the same while on meds vs off meds. HOWEVER, Lamictal has eliminated my agitation, so I don't plan to go off that med... ever.

I wish I didn't have to take meds, too. Ive lost my personality on meds such as Seroquel, so I know what you mean by how good it feels when you regain your personality using the right meds. (I think that's what you're saying?)
