Why do you want to go off yr meds? Are you feeling really stable? It could be because you are medicated. But I toy with the idea of life without meds but it's only a pipe dream. I know im a better parent with meds and therapy. I want to be a stable parent. I'm not judging here at all...just the opposite. If someone feels like they don't need meds then that's their right. I'm just speaking for myself. My daughter is in therapy too since she has a mom with mental illness I want her to have a positive outlet. If her therapist found out that I went off my meds she would call me in for a mtg as she'd be worried for my daughter sake. Just things to think about.

It's me and my husband with our three kids. I have become preoccupied with my faith and feel like God wants me to come off my meds. My hubs says I'm hypomanic and that is what this is all about. Also I was off of meds for about 8years in the past and managed--but since have had severe symptoms. I am still debating this though. I told my pdoc at least for now I'd stay on them. Thank you for your input; it is helpful.
