Nothing bad has happened since stopping rexulti. Kinda makes me wonder if it was doing anything in the first place to be honest. I have no symptoms other than a lack of hunger.
I still don't think I have a bipolar diagnosis, though, and I just want to be on a stimulant (Ritalin) for concentration. I am already off my antipsychotic and doing just fine. In fact, I feel less foggy and more productive nowadays. I want to ask about weaning off the other meds during my next appt (after proving I am fine without an antipsychotic), but the lamictal one I am scared to go off of because of seizure risks.

Didn't you come up with this same plan a while back, and it failed miserably?
Albert Einstein said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result."
Please be sure the Einstein quote doesn't apply to your plan.
I'm glad you have some relief from your akathisia.
