As you will often see if you post here often. Madisgram has lots of good info&advice to offer. It's too true that we bipolars often stop taking our meds once we start feeling better. No matter how much you dislike taking pills, I'd suggest staying on them if you're put back on them-they really do help even when you're not feeling so great. I found myself in the hoospital both times I stopped taking my meds. You don't wantto go there. Try to keep your spirits up-excercise is good&I'd also suggest volunteering somewhere-it makes you feel useful&needed even when you're low. I volunteer at my church&at the local library&it always brightens my day the day I do it.
Hang in there till you get to see your doc&hopefully you'll be back on your feet in no time.
