Has anyone had an official (or even unofficial) diagnosis of bipolar and has made an informed decision not to take medication? I'm just curious.. it's difficult to get an accurate dx in these woods and I'm severely allergic to medication . I do not wish to take oral steroids especially more than once as a "supplement" to psych meds ...although I have been prescribed these for that purpose

I suppose taking an antipsychotic and oral steroids might help me "function better" in the short term, but oral steroids frighten me. To be honest, doctors also frighten me

I'm sorry if this is triggering ... I wish I could take meds as other tools aren't working especially well.. I'm not a "hypochondriac" or anything of that nature. And I wish I didn't have this issue. I hoped and still hope my body might somehow ......

I was told there isn't an availability of allergy desensitisation in the uk

Thanks
Fuzzy
