Same here so I can commiserate. My intelligence is the only thing I’ve got going for me at this point. I already feel stupid and I’ve only been on meds for about two months now. Everyone who knows about the meds have been understanding but I was on the phone with my son’s teacher yesterday and stuttered three times until I finally got the word out and then it wasn’t even the right word! I’ve got two kids with special needs. I can not afford to lose my cognitive ability.

I’m so glad that you were able to get so much done since coming off the meds. Have you had any side effects since going cold turkey, aside from the elevated mood and productivity? That’s another thing I’ll miss while being on meds. Hypomania is the only time that I’m able to be productive before I’m thrown back into the dark abyss of depression. Without that, nothing will get done around here.
