I have somewhat similar problems, but take much different meds (Abilify, Trileptal, Prozac, Neurontin).

I don't know of any way to deal with more severe mental illness without meds. I do Orthomolecular, which works with meds, and that's been helpful.

I think there's overlap between relapse and drug induced brain changes. Just being honest. For instance, when I was younger, I went off all meds for a couple years. I was barely functioning, then I flipped out completely under high stress. Something about that crack up changed my diagnosis from severe depression (psychotic) to bipolar I. I can't do without modern day pharmaceuticals.

Was at least part of the problem prior medication use? Probably. Was there an underlying problem as well? Definitely. Do I wish I could be without meds? Yeah. Do I worry about it a whole lot? Not really.
