    Been taking bipolar meds for years. When I try to stop I get very ill and usually end up detained or hospitalized against my will. I still hate taking them, always found them to be suspicious.

      My reply to you and to this article is:  would you stop taking insulin if you had diabetes?  do you think your symptoms would return if you stopped taking your insulin?  Might you feel very sick and get worse without it?

      My issue with this article is that it is clearly written by researchers who have not lived with mental health disorders themselves or with family members who have mental health disorders.  I have lived with both, and it is clear to me that for certain mental health disorders, medication is necessary for
      1) survival, and
      2) effective functioning.

      I will be happy to explain further if interested.
