So, I'm currently taking quite a few different medications at the moment and the two that I'm bringing up are Lithium and Abilify.

Currently our goal is to get Abilify to be the ONLY medication that I need, because it seems to be helping a lot.

However, my fear revolves around Lithium. I've been on it for so long, I don't know what would happen if we took me off it completely. What if Abilify isn't enough and I start suffering from deep depressions (I've never had this before, which is also why it's a really scary thought. Being diagnosed so young, I grew up with the medication I needed). Really, I'm just scared of the thought of 'what if Abillify just isn't enough? and I get into an episode that gets me hospitalized or something.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to handle this feeling?
And if something did happen, how to handle that?

Thanks!
