What I mean is, It is not the same to lead a med-free lifestyle than stopping certain meds (you migth want to stop all of them and be med free, or just stop one that is causing you too many side effects).
And there is more about being med free than stopping meds. Like how to deal with psychosis, anxiety, SI, bla bla bla without meds.
I think it is a good idea.

Thanks, spikes and OliverB.
OliverB, you make a good point. As you read, my original thought was for such a subforum to also be a place for discussion/support for people who have never been on medications and never plan to be. I guess with that in mind, if such a subforum were to be created, perhaps the name "Bipolar medication discontinuations" wouldn't imply full inclusion. I would think it certainly should. We'll see if this has further interest, and if so, only then might we inquire about possible creation. [It may not be approved, even then.] If so, a more inclusive name would be even more ideal. Who knows. Maybe "Bipolar Med-Free or Discontinuation"????
