Is it possible that by being on the medication, you are having fewer "episodes"? Very rarely are there perfect answers to the illnesses we suffer. Granted, there are times we need to try different meds, different ways of doing things to find what works best for ourselves.

Going off a med without discussing it with your pdoc and titrating down off the dosage may send you into a horrible downward spiral, one that you won't enjoy either mentally or possibly physically either.

No matter what you decide, please be safe and talk with your pdoc first.
