Every Bipolar I've ever met wanted to get off their medications. I've seen numerous people who have tried and relapsed ending back in the hospital. If you are truly diagnosed with Bipolar and you've already had a severe manic episode or depressive episode then I could not imagine a doctor in his/her right mind who would allow you to get off the meds. It's extremely dangerous and I know first hand because I tapered off my meds years ago and ended up right back in the hospital after about 3 months. While off the meds I felt incredible and didn't realize I got hypo which led to full blown mania. I'm not trying to preach but be careful what you ask for. If you polled this forum to see how many ppl are unmedicated I have a feeling it would be an extremely low percentage. Good luck either way just be careful.
