Many people's experiences going off sound fairly negative to me but there are those who benefit. I'm not feeling any worse for going off them. I have done it without my treating teams knowledge of doing. It could have gone really bad but I'm still in the process of finding meds that actually work for me & I'm still unsure of my dx's, I'm really not sure if I'm bipolar. So if you are stable & your meds helped to get you stable & your side effects arnt too worrisome I would probably stay on them if I were you. We're all different though. The conflict is horrible isn't it?
I second the above, don't do it without your psychiatrists knowledge!
