[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 186482, member: 1550"] Just from my own bipolar experience, when you go off the medications, you can no longer maintain stability. It's not something you can learn to do. It is a medical disorder. It would be like going off of insulin when you had a serious case of diabetes. I personally would rather be a little dulled than suicidal and crazy and driving everyone else crazy too...lol. On a more serious note, 60% of all people with bipolar who are not medicated try to commit suicide and there is a high success rate. One in five with bipolar succeed in committing suicide. I would NEVER take that risk with my child, and wouldn't want the child to think, "I don't need my medications." It's a disorder that can be fatal, and, sadly, I know a few bipolars that did kill themselves. JMO [/QUOTE]
