I’ve not read much about that in the bp community, I’ve read more about that in the ptsd community and I question some of it.
My p doc did not lie to me, he said it would not be easy but he supported my decision if I replace the med with all that I’ve learned in CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy.
I’m waiting to get my new work schedule and to go to the lab before my making my next appointment with him where I will confront him about his bp dx of me.
He’s thought that about me from the beginning.

I would like to thank you for making this thread and I wish you luck. I read your new thread where you explain the titration process that you are undergoing. I have not been here for a while and I actually came here looking for discussion on reasons to stay on my meds. The last time I went to my pdoc, he told me that I would likely end up here. . . wanting to come off because I feel so much better. For me, coming off means unpredictable behavior that seems perfectly logical to me at the time but proves to be reckless to my financial situation and peer relationships. I'm currently working two jobs and can't afford an episode of mania or depression. I have to keep telling myself that. Again, I wish you luck.
