Sometimes, when my meds give me weird side effects, I have little episodes where I freak out thinking what if I'm not really bipolar and these meds are ruining my brain?! Which is ridiculous because my history of bipolar symptoms is clear.

I'm not thinking that way now, but I had a rough afternoon and tripped on that thought for a couple hours. I even googled what happens when non bipolar people take antipsychotic meds.

I'm wondering if you guys ever get it in your heads that you're not really bipolar and should quit your meds. I have no intention of quitting, as I said I feel the opposite now, I just wonder if it's a common experience. It happens to me occasionally, usually when I'm on the manic side.
