Has anyone gone off their meds with good results. I think this has just been 2 years of hell for no reason and Im sick of it. I am absolutely no better and probably worse than I was before meds.

I just started lithium and wellbutrin in september during my last involuntary but have been on depakote for a year. I am still having major mood swings although way less than on depakote alone. I like the wellbutrin but it made me manic when I was on it by itself last summer and couldnt come down until I was off of it.

I asked my psychiatrist if I could go off the depakote now and he said not for at least 3-6 months and only possibly then. I dont want to waste that much more time.

Basically I just want people to tell me Im right since I quit yesterday and I dont even know if I could force myself to swallow that sh** now that I let myself stop for one day. It has been months of difficulty forcing myself every day and I finally just gave up.
