Well, only time will tell...if you're really manic, it should last several more days, at least. I would back off on the energy drinks...if you don't sleep, even if you're not manic now, you may be later, especially without your Abilify.

You should really start taking your meds as prescribed. Think of your logic here..."I've been taking these drugs...I feel great now, so I'll stop taking them". Bipolar isn't a sore throat or an abcessed tooth...your meds don't make it go away like antibiotics do an infection; they simply control the symptoms. Take the meds away, the symptoms come back!

Anyway, I would call your doctor and ask him or her the question you're asking us...what do you think she or he would say?

Get better,
DJ
