So it's like, why would I take in chemicals that don't appear to be doing anything? Bipolar's supposed to be hard to diagnose, right? Maybe I over exaggerated. Maybe the doctors were searching for something that wasn't there. Maybe I thought I wanted them to. Who even knows. All I know is I'm feeling pretty good.
I have vowed to stick with my treatment plan whatever it may be. I went off my meds before and ws feeling great. For a few months I was normal and there was no mood difference at all. However, a period of manic behavior hit me real quick and I was in that phase for over a year before crashing into a depressive phase. I hate taking the medications and I hate the side effects but I know I'm better off taking the stuff. I urge you to talk with your doctor and let him or her know how you feel. Good Luck!
