People with Schizophrenia and Bipolar are famous for going off meds when they feel better (because of the meds), and then having little insight when they sink into psychosis or mania.
Right now my daughter is doing that and it is breaking my heart to watch it. She is convinced at the moment that she can control her bipolar with diet and exercise alone. She can't even see how manic she is. I'm so worried about where this will lead. So please, for the sake of yourself and all who love you, don't go off your meds because you feel good.
