I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar. They are taking me off of my Effexor and the withdrawals from that are awful but are slowly getting better. They are currently working my Lithium up to a therapeutic dose and are also slowly weaning me off of Seroquel. To put it simply: I miss being hypomanic, I only ever really went into full mania once and I don't remember anything about it honestly; I just remember feeling extremely euphoric. I feel like I function better with my hypomania. Since they've put me on Lithium I feel dull and just bleh. My pdoc keeps telling me that once they get it up to a therapeutic dose I will feel better. I also want to just not take them today so I can have an accurate view of what I am like off my meds, and see if I want to even be on meds.

I'm just looking for people that have any stories if they had done the same, etc.
