It is very common for people with bipolar to stop taking medcation because either they feel okay and think they no longer need it, or becasue the side effects are worst than the original problem. My advise to to try new medications closely monitored by doctor. Lots of people have to try different meds before they find the right one that works with side effects they can live with. I use spiritually to help my symtom as well but that is just one tool in the tool chest. Please talk to your doctor,keep reaching out and do research about bipolar.
