I stopped all mine in 2012--lithium included. Sadly, the data celarly show that pts with bp 1 who rapidly d/c their lithium are most often headed for a big recurrence. Almost 100% of the time. If they actually have the illness. So, please, pay attention to the emergence of any symptoms. The sooner you pick up on it, the sooner you can address it. Sending you positive vibes and wishes for a healthy brain.
