I know some members would benefit from such a mentioned subforum, and for others it may put what are occasionally triggering (or bad influence) posts away from the main forum. Anyone like that idea? I suggest this for the good of all.

Yeah, I can see how these threads can be triggering or a bad influence for some people.
I suggest we have a subforum for changing treatments, which would include going off them. In other words, if you are tapering off a med to switch onto another one, you can discuss withdrawal, etc.. But of course, you can also post success stories or horror stories of going off meds altogether, because you are "changing" your treatment from being on meds to being off meds, if that makes sense.
I'd call it "Bipolar treatment discontinuation." Then the description would be "A subforum for discussing discontinuing certain meds and sharing discontinuation stories."
Edit: or "Bipolar medication discontinuations"
