I've been on medication for over 2 years to deal with the symptoms of BPD, and it's helped for sure. I started off with Zoloft and Seroquel, but changed those this year because of the side effect (weight gain and sexual dysfunction at low doses because I'm very sensitive to medication). I'm on Lamotrigine and Wellbutrin currently, but for the last while I've really been noticing the effect both or either one is having on my short-term memory. I'm forgetting things I never forgot before (putting away groceries, dinner I'm in the middle of prepping). It's just really a crappy thing to have to deal with.

As opposed to when I started medication I'm now in group schema therapy, DBT, and I have a private therapist. So there is definitely support there that wasn't there before. My question is whether anyone here has gone medication free 

Disclaimer: I completely support the use of medication if it's working for you and the side effects are nonexistent or tolerable for you. This isn't me suddenly deciding that medication isn't worth it at all. I'm just really weighing up the side effects and the toll they've been taking on my life life, and it would help to know that there are people who have BPD who are genuinely treating it without medication and having success.

Thanks!
