I often go through periods of thinking I don't need all or certain of my meds and stop taking some or all of them. It has always ended in disaster for me. I think now I've hit disaster so much that I've finally learned my lesson (I hope). But I'm sure being bipolar, especially if I get that "flat" affect from meds that I hate so much, I'm just as liable to stop some/all of them again. It's like this vicious circle or something.
