  Hi all, One of my last posts was all about how proud I was to be managing my Bipolar without medication. Well, a few things were brought to light and happened all at once.

  I am tired of people cringing and trying to tell me what to do when I tell them I'm unmedicated. They seem to have no problem with me or the way I live before hand, and then suddenly everyone thinks their opinion is critical when suddenly they're aware I'm unmedicated. What do you all think about medication? What is your experience with medication, from a bipolar perspective?

I am looking for...
