It's hard to say whether you should attempt to come off your meds, particularly if your symptoms are bad.

I have bipolar 1 which is considered the more severe form, and as much as I wish I didn't have to take five drugs to stay sane, I can't imagine where I'd be without them.
As I've aged my disease has progressed, and every time the dosage goes up on my meds I never seem to be able to bring it back down. I sometimes have some psychosis with my manic/depressed episodes (ever seen cats running under linen carts in the emergency room? I have) even though I'm on two anti-psychotics. I don't even want to know what might happen if I were to come off them. I'm not dangerous---at least when I'm not manic and pissed off---but again, the meds smooth out the rough spots, and I haven't been full-blown manic in a year.

IF you do decide you want off your meds, do NOT do it without your doctor's knowledge and supervision. You will need to taper off, not go cold turkey because you WILL have a bad reaction. It's all but guaranteed.....maybe not right away but it will happen. Your family's opinions should also carry some weight in making this decision, because your moods and actions affect them too. Just saying.
