I have the same thoughts. I was well off meds for 8 years, and destabilized during a period of intensely stressful events. I am questioning whether i still need to be on meds now, and i'm planning for the right time to ditch them. I know this would be against medical advise, but i can't really imagine going through life this medicated without at least trying to go med free once more. It feels like the meds i'm on now are an over-reaction. On the other hand, it's a big risk and my pdoc said that if i get sick again she can't guarantee that she can get me well again. I know that untreated BP tends to progress and get worse, so i might never make it back to current baseline. I never made it back to my old baseline after my last major episode.
So what to do? I'm still deciding. But i really do want to give med free, or at least med reduced, a chance.
