I have been stable for well over two years......

I think my marriage may be more important to me than stability.

So do any of you know about any herbal supplements I could try
to help me deal with being BP?

I am thinking aboujt going off my meds for good.

Oh haha make fun of Kentucky. How original. :p

Princess, you obviously have made up your mind. It's not an easy road to go- I tried medfree and am now med-light. Maybe try that instead. So you still take your anti-psychotic and your anti-anxiety, but don't take an anti-depressent.

It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

CALL YOUR DOCTOR! If your meds are interfering with you marriage, you need to know why. Also, it might be time for a good therapist to work on issues with your marriage.

Princess, as you said yourself, "you've only tried 2"- in terms of pdocs. Maybe it's time for a new pdoc, not an abandonment of the whole thing. I feel like you are throwing the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak. Some pdocs suck, they don't all. You've only tried 2....maybe it's time to find one who will listen to you.

If your marriage needs work now, then going off your meds is one way to totally destroy it.

I suggest you read the post that is now closed that Joe100 started referring to not taking meds. Maybe read what you posted on there when you was telling people not to encourage people not to take meds. You can't be a hypocrite about things. Just an observation.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
