I dun know. I think there’s something to be said for clearing the body of drugs every so often. Especially if you are struggling with symptoms. But know that hospitalization is a strong possibility. I’d be a hypocrite if I said otherwise. I’ve gone of meds a few times and I did seem to do well,…for a while. My longest was 3 years off meds but I had a great therapist at the time. The main problem was that they kept giving me ADs which caused me to have either mania or mixed, mostly mixed. So yeah I felt better off the meds. Then finally science caught up. It’s been ten yrs I think, and despite how stable I am I do think of giving my body a break.
