I decided to kick my meds (lithium and Celexa). Lithium made me feel stupid and I was forgetting a lot of things. I wasn't sure the medication was helping and I was relying on it without the other elements of self care like mindfulness, diet, and exercise. I've been off them for about a month. This is *my* story and it might not apply to everyone so keep that in mind. I've been OK, some outbursts but nothing like in the past - throwing trash cans on my roof, destroying my garage....you know, the good stuff of BP. I just did it on my own against advice of my wife but I was determined to make it work. So I run a little bit, climb a few mountains, and zone out on the couch at night to the smooth grooves of the Grateful Dead. Anyway, there it is.
