I was diagnosed 14 years ago. Got sick of being on meds after 4 years. I was doing really really well. So I stopped taking them. I was fine for 2 years off them. Then I went hypo for a month leading in to full blown psychosis changing my diagnosis from BP1 to BP2 in the blink of an eye. I landed up in a psych ward faster than you can say Jeronimo.

First last and only time I’ve ever been in a psych ward. When I was unmediated and thought I was doing great.

I can’t say if you should / shouldn’t be on meds but you need to be VERY careful because whilst you may read my post and think to yourself yeah but I’ll never go psychotic or I’ll never land up in a psych ward - I NEVER thought I would either. Until it happened to me.
