I should say that my therapist was as neutral as Switzerland about this until I brought this up. Even now, he is not pressuring me and wants to talk to my psych about this as well. He is more than willing to listen. While I do not want to revisit depression/mania again I don't want to feel stupid anymore. I feel dull witted, not as funny as I once was and have lost enthusiasm for many, many things. This is no longer living in my book.Has anyone here tried going off meds, success and failure stories welcome.
