I was on seizure control medication throughout childhood into my early 30's until I decided to drop them altogether. I debated doing it for years before doing it. It's been almost nine years now and it was a good decision.

The constant blood tests to make sure the medication wasn't damaging my liver was a concern and I couldn't justify taking the meds regularly just to stop the rare petite mal seizure.

It worked out for me, but I wouldn't ever recommend it to anyone. There are just too many things at play from one person to the next to ever do that.

I think this applies here still since seizure medications are often used to manage bipolar disorder.

@Jessmari Very brave of you to make that decision. But for most, they are their own best health advocate.
