This summer my meds were working so well that I forgot how bipolar I was. I started thinking the doctor misdiagnosed me. I thought maybe it was just a hormone imbalance. I started coming off my meds and voila... I'm very bipolar. It was a good reminder, but it destabilized something that was working well. Now I'm on more meds than before and I have to rebuild trust with my doctor.

That's my story. I had to learn the hard way.
