the catch 22 here especially with lithium (there has even been studies done) is that you WILL get symptoms or possibly an episode just because you are going off not necessarily because the mood disorder is raging.
it's a big choice to go without meds. how have you done in the past? how long have you been stable?
you are working closely with your pdoc so that's a good thing! do you have other coping skills?
if you decide now or in the future you need to go back on meds there is nothing wrong with that!

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
