I've gone off my meds three times over the years (I was misdiagnosed with MDD--I'm actually BP II) and the SSRI's eventually induced hypomania. Each time the hypomanis got worse. I know that staying on our meds is tough for us bipolars to do. I made a vow to myself that this time I would stay on them-- and I have meds now which are appropriate for my disease-- because the results of the last hypomania were so severe.

I can't speak to your situation but I hope you are able to get things figured out. And I would hope you can find a way to be at peace with your having bipolar, because like it or not, you have it.
