I am not sure that I, personally, will get Lithium rebound, because I did not get one last year when my dose was reduced from 1500 mg to 900 mg, which was a big enough reduction. But of course one cannot predict what going down to zero would cause.


I think stepping down off meds w/ help from ur provider is good. U mentioned "if u are bipolar". Is ur provider still uncertain?
