Dear Mr. Bruce, I have had many troubles w/ mental illness and substance abuse for the last 22 years of my life. I stopped using substances a couple years ago and learned meditation and felt like I had made some tremendous breakthrough. However this proved shorterm. My diagnosis is of the schizophrenic/bipolar variety. when I made a breakthrough my third eye and crown chakra were tingling and so active at times it made me feel even more mad. Anyway I am back on meds now and my question is, do the psych meds hinder my progress. I feel much less energy activity. And also any advice would be welcome.
