Thanks, Sometimes psychotic. I only just noticed that a few seconds before seeing your post. https://psychcentralforums.com/getting-off-of-meds/

I'll pose the question to people here. Is there a reason Bipolar might benefit from its OWN post under a name such as "Bipolar medication discontinuations"?

We do have a "Bipolar Treatments" subforum here as of somewhat recently, even though the main PC Index had a "Psychiatric Medications" forum already, for a long while before it. I can't speak for others' view of the benefits of a duplication, but my reasons for supporting the duplication were because:

1. Only some people with bipolar disorder went to the one through the main PC Index.

2. People with bipolar disorder have unique experiences and concerns about certain medication issues that may not be fully understood or related to by people with other types of mental illness.

3. Many people who visit the Bipolar group on PC, spend most all of their time on the Bipolar group alone. I can say that I do, with the small exceptions of the social groups.I visit other groups very rarely.

The above are just my personal usage observations. I know others are different.

It's all about website usage analytics.The last post in the current "Getting off medications" forum was on February 3. And before that January 30. Would having a special one on Bipolar increase activity and provide justified add-on value for people with bipolar disorder? I'm not 100% sure.
