Congratulations. I’m bipolar 1 so meds are a fact of life for me. But my journey started way back in the 80’s. They kept putting me on antidepressants which send me manic or mixed and in the aughts I took myself off all meds. Life was calmer off meds than on but it was still a roller coaster. I ended up in the psych ER and a very wonderful pdoc there explained that they now knew antidepressants were not good for bipolar 1 people and that he wouldn’t give me any. Yay! I’ve been very stable since that encounter and I tell every new doc no antidepressant’s and no steroids. I do miss grapefruit. I love it too. While off meds I went down to my school weight without trying and I got to eat grapefruit! Congratulations
