If your meds aren't working and you've given them a chance I don't blame you for wanting to stop, just be careful and taper. Are you going to talk to your pdoc about this? You could try something else if you're willing. I've struggled with not wanting to take meds this year but I've just been trying till I find something that works. Don't give up

p.s. I was surprised to learn you were on effexor, I've heard it can trigger (hypo)manic episodes more so than other anti-depressants as it's more stimulating due to it being a SNRI. I'm sure it works for some people without it triggering an episode.
