I went off meds for about 2-3 years and it was a really bad decision. My moods were cycling frequently and I ended up becoming an alcoholic in a attempt to self-medicate. Not saying this will happen to you but for me, there's no way I can go without meds. Now I get nervous when I'm getting low on meds because I know how my Bipolar is and how quickly I will become unstable. I know it's really tempting to stop them, but it's not worth it in the end.
