Not only is quitting cold turkey not recommended, it can be dangerous for some medications. And with other meds cutting off too quickly can push you into a deeper relapse than you would expect.

Some people can do without their meds. I know a few people who are now on no meds at all and are doing fine. But like MP said, the way to do it is to talk to your doctor in order to do it safely and in order to prevent any symptoms of the illness from reoccuring. That is the point after all, right?

Also remember that large numbers of people who stop taking bipolar meds because they "feel ok" end up with symptoms again within a year. They often need to be hospitalized again. But there are some that do OK. So the thing is to have the doctor take you off of them safely, and then continue to be monitored by your pdoc or T to make sure that you really are doing well without them.
