I too went through periods of forgetting and then thinking i was fine without them. What we don't realize is that after taking them for a while they tend to build up in your system, so the "crash" doesn't happen for maybe a couple of weeks. But when you do crash it can be devastating, as I realized a couple of months ago. I had to be re-hospitalized and re-medicated. Now I take my meds religiously so I don't have another episode, plus it helps having a spouse who is responsible for my meds and reminds me is i do forget. What I am trying to say is please take your meds. I don't want you to go through what I went through. Maintenance is the key along with therapy. Keep safe and may you find peace and happiness.
