Hello CesarioRose,
There is some information here for people who are considering reducing or coming off medications: Guidelines for Reducing or Coming Off Medications

There are a number of other links there that I would also encourage you to follow up on. In particular, I would recommend Gianni Kali's Beyond Meds. She was diagnosed as bipolar at one point in time and did make an eventual withdrawal from medication. There is much that can be learned from the approaches she found helpful, particularly her utilization of alternate therapies.

Steven Morgan is also an individual who made the choice to try going without meds. You can find a bit more about him at this link -- scroll down until you see the young man with the beaming smile: New York Times: Patient Voices

Sean's blog, Bipolar or Waking Up may also contain some helpful information for you.

I'm also aware of another woman who came off medications. In her case, she also came off anything else that might be considered toxic -- coffee, cigarettes, alchohol, etc. She then spent a few years involved in intense meditation as a means of trying to understand exactly what made her tick. You can read her story here: Jane: My Spiritual Recovery

What may be a good approach for you is to do your homework first and then, begin making changes. I am in support of people attempting to reduce or come off medications but if they are going to do so, I'd far rather see them succeed. Quite often, that means avoiding a rapid response and instead, devoting yourself to a slow, steady and informed course of tapered withdrawal.
