I am not following my pdoc's directions. I changed my dose of lithium (went back up to a previous dose) and stopped taking abilify. I feel LOADS better and WAY more stable. I know I shouldn't be doing it but it has prevented hypomania/stopped hypomania in its tracks. I plan to discuss this honestly with them in my next appointment but when the nurse called me on the phone to check in I didn't tell her about any of it. (She only asked about sleep and a different change we had made, so I didn't lie, but...obviously not the whole truth.) My partner is aware of my changes and is opposed to me not telling them things but also at the same time says I'm doing better and seeming more stable.
