BP I here , never doubted my diagnosis.
I was med free for about 18 or so months a couple years ago with my Pdocs blessing. For me the worst part was my brain learning to function again without the meds I would say 3-4 months and I was finally back to brain function clearly with out meds.
There were some highs and lows and often I was white knuckled holding on.
I do not regret it but a few cans of worms popped open in therapy that were to much for me to handle med free at that time.
I doubt I’ll stay on meds forever, maybe I will go off meds every so many years ? Or maybe at some point I will just stay on them. Dunno
Everyone is different and manages there BP or whatever “ label” we are handed.
No one is right or wrong.
