I think the forum would be a good place to keep potential negative influences in one spot -- as BirdDancer mentioned before -- and to also have a place where people can do their own research on medication discontinuation. (The idea is that everything would be kept in one place, thus easier to peruse.)

The current "Bipolar Treatments" subforum only seems to talk about starting new meds and questions about side effects, and I think it'd be good to keep it that way. Medication discontinuation is vastly different from starting/being on a medication. I also think the Bipolar Treatments subforum is very encouraging -- with people providing their experiences and giving ideas for helping people cope with side effects -- and in my opinion, discontinuing meds is not always a positive thing. It can be positive for some people, but not for a lot of people.
