I have bipolar, and have been trying for months to come off my medication to try and manage it without Lithium and Aripiprizole. I know coming off meds isn't for everyone, but I wanted to try. I have been fine for literally years now on the meds, and fine on a reduced dose for months - in fact, I'll be honest and say I haven't been very faithful with my meds at all.
But these past few days I've noticed myself getting obsessive, not sleeping, listening to music all. the. time. Barely eating.
Have I failed? Has anyone come through the other side of this and worked through symptoms without having to up their meds again? I confess, I quite like where I am, I just know it's not going to be helpful in the longterm and could lead to me doing something stupid.
