Yep. I mean, I'm BP I, but I doubt my dx sometimes. Most recently (mid-September--mid-November) I went a bit hypomanic and thought: I'm going to sell my car and fly to Syria to help the YPG fight ISIS. I can survive just fine without meds because I'm totally not crazy. So I stopped taking my medication. And I did survive just fine... for about 5 weeks, when I started getting really agitated and started hating life for no reason I could figure other than being off my meds. That's when I came to face the reality of the disease and went back on my medication.

I saw my pdoc two days or so after going back on my meds and said nothing of it because I was afraid she would scold me for stopping my medicine, but I see her in a few weeks and I'm gonna be honest with her and ask, since 7.5mg has allowed me to be in such a situation twice in the last 6 months, to go back up to 10mg of Abilify... for my own good/safety.
