Is Amanda Bynes Off Her Meds? Our beloved Amanda Bynes has been through so much legal and psychiatric drama for the past 3 years. According to Bynes tweets, she has been diagnosed as being bipolar and schizophrenic. And now she is reportedly off all her meds and acting completely normal according to her family. Bynes troubles all started back in April of 2012 when she was arrested for a DUI. From there on out she had many run ins with the law, including hit and run allegations and a few stays in mental facilities. But, is she really better? For now she seems like she is doing well, but her family was told by doctors that this could be just temporary. People who are bipolar and schizophrenic have good stints for days and even months and then can relapse. TMZ reports that she is using meditation and yoga to keep herself balanced. So, for now she seems well. We can only hope that it stays this way.
