Has anyone been able to avoid cognitive decline without meds?
I'm debating starting meds again because I'm terrified of hypo-induced brain damage, but I haven't experienced any noticeable cognitive damage so far. Onset was at 18 and now I'm 24, unmedicated for the majority of the time. Curious if anyone has been able to manage without meds while simultaneously avoiding negative cognitive effects. Being off meds probably isn't advisable according to the psych literature if your goal is to avoid brain damage but I figured I'd ask!
