Obviously it's classic bipolar to wonder about and try to get off meds. As I have just passed 2 years full med compliance and nearly a year of amazing stability, I feel the game starting in my head. What's next? I have a quarterly pdoc check in w no changes needed in a few weeks. I ask myself and wonder about long term damage and life expectancy issues from years and decades of meds. I have to stop these thoughts or at least have a chuckle at them and realize it is all part of the experience. Acceptance is hard, but powerful and necessary w bipolar and addiction recovery. Thanks aged for letting me share.
