I was on seroquel lamictal and depakote awhile ago. It made life pretty boring. But then I went off the meds and everything was just dandy, until I started doing risky things without thinking about what I was doing (very bipolar behavior), leading up to and including (on the pretense of it being a certain american holiday) building a pipe bomb and accidentally setting it off in my face. 
Don't listen to these people that say drop meds etc, if you need them you need them, that is, if you cannot live a normal lifestyle without them. If you decide the combination isn't working for you, you should cut back slowly. I didn't choose to do this, this might not have had to do with my mistake, but being bipolar certainly made me more susceptible to my lapse in reason.
Oh yeah and now, the only drugs I take are recreational. I'm still bipolar but would rather challenge myself with functioning in the world without dumbing down my head. Though sometimes in my infrequent but severe lows the thought crosses my mind to go back on meds, but I haven't yet... HTH

Doesn't that sound like a contradiction to you?

Yes.
I guess you have to live life and decide for yourself what is better (derrr)
Some people go on and off meds a few times before settling on staying on something.
Other people go on/off meds, stay off them, learn to live with their problem.
What I meant, though, is make an informed decision and don't just quit cold turkey on a whim because the internet tells you pharmaceuticals are bad.

Yeah, I agree. But Seroquel, as you know, is one fucking rough drug on the body. The damage it does is huge.

Yeah, seroquel sucks! Except when you got someone tripping out throwing pool balls beer bottles etc, screaming about going to hell at 2am waking everyone up. Then seroquel is your (their) friend.

Agreed. I always feel safer tripping because I can easily crush 300mg and end the trip. But other than that, I'm trying to get off Seroquel...but save a nice supply for trips  BTW -- to date I have never had to abort a trip.

Maybe I have other sources that "the internet".
And btw, there are sources on the internet which sustain that meds are bad, as well as other which sustain that meds are good.
What I pick from all the sources containing all the contradictory information are passed through the filter of reason.
Also most people who stay on meds for a prolongued period of time and then quit, come back to the ways they felt or even worse. One more reason to think that they are not exactly good.
Another thing which confirmed me that meds are BS was when I realized that each of us have the ability to change the way we perceive life. I had enormous moments of depression and and anxiety of different sorts and the only one who could get me out of there was my own determination by deciding to face my problems, accept them and then resolve them. With reason and understanding.

Fuck meds. Life changes are what take you from unhappiness to happiness.

You should become a Scientologist then you would realize that drugs aren't the answer.
Also, I really dislike Bipolar people even though they do provide occasional entertainment.

You dislike bipolar people?
Well you must dislike a lot of people in music, film, and literature. Some of the most talented & brilliant people are bipolar.

How did the pipe bomb go off in your face?
I'd like to hear how you constructed it.

dayum...I was upto 600mg/day on Seroquel, and that wasn't even enough
