But, you also need to be a little more realistic and think...every few months I stop taking my meds, and every few months I get depressed and feel awful...there is a cause and effect situation going on there. if you change the cause, you can change the effect. Can you talk to your Dpdoc or T and have it set up that when you are getting to that time when you start feeling like you might be ready to quit the meds to have an appointment and be honest to say 'yup, it's that time" and then they can make adjustments and talk you though it rather than you going through the whole cycle again.

The medication does indeed send me into hypo-mania, my pdoc knows this, i know this, she put me on a mood stabilizer....and I'll be honest..i don't take it...because i actually love hypo mania...and i don't want the hypo-mania to end. I quit therapy last...hypo-mania...since i was "magically all better"...so i suppose i'll have to get into it again.As for being realistic, my mind knows it...it really does...but when those good feelings are pumping....i am absolutly certain it will be different....like as sure as i know i am typing this that is how sure i am that while on medications i KNOW that everything will be different and i don't need them.I realize it sounds ridiculous....and in fact i know it is
