I've read online about Spiritual emergency and getting off antipsychotics. I thought about saving some money and renting a cabin by a lake for two months on the next summer to withdrawal, and to see if it's even possible.

My first psychosis was in 2009 and the second, when I tried to quit my meds, in 2011. So I've been on meds for 5 years. Now I'm taking Zyprexa, Abilify, Risperdal and Lamictal for this Bipolar/Kundalini/whatever-you-wanna-call-it - "disease".

What is probably going to happen is I'm going to go into psychosis, but I've read that it's possible to go through it without the medication. I hope it's true!

Living with antipsychotics, I fear for my health in the long-term, and feel like I've got nothing to lose in the matter. If I totally fail and have to go to a psych ward for a month to go back on the meds, at least I know I gave it my all.

I feel a bit sketchy staying in a cabin though, most likely by myself, for two months, but that seems to be the only option. Someone in my family is probably going to bring me food when I run out, but I really don't want to get them too much involved. I still believe I can do it, with willpower.

Can anyone who's quit antipsychotics give me any advice or share their experience? Thanks!
