It sounds like you want mania. For what it's worth, 1500mg lithium is very likely going to keep you away from that. Lithium is the gold standard mood stabilizer, and the thing it does best is keep mania at bay. Have you had blood levels drawn recently? You could be over the recommended dose. I'm not advocating for dropping your meds by any means, but lithium can make you feel flat even in the therapeutic range.
Most likely what you're dealing with is withdrawal from the Seroquel and Abilify.

I stopped my medication 3 days ago. Maybe the APs were masking a depression?
I heard lithium isn't a sure bet in keeping mania at bay. Something like 30% of people relapse per year. I mean it's summer for ****s sake. I'm used to feeling good, not like crap |

Seroquel and Abilify are used as antipsychotics, and not normally associated with antidepressant properties. That being said, there's nothing to say you can't have rebound depression from stopping them - especially without titrating the dosages. Based on the half-lives, day three is definitely one where they're still leaving your system and you could be having all sorts of effects from the withdrawal - not the least of which is feeling like

Seroquel does have some antidepressant qualities at low doses.
I don't feel any more like **** than i did before i stopped taking them though, it's just my situation is now more apparent and it makes me angry, i think. I need to be hypomanic right now, but i know i have no money and nothing to really do anyway. I'm miserable. And have been since january. Oh, and january is when i First Got Put On Meds. |

Depression and my medication makes me emotionally flat and I am usually not able to have an emotional outlet for my pain, but a sad movie can move me to tears. Crying over someone else's pain is easier because I am very empathetic, and the release of emotions makes me feel better.

Right? Same here, for the flat part.
I'm listening to the same songs today, and nothing. I feel worse today than yesterday too. The hell was that? Probably just from stopping APs abruptly huh? |

Dude, you are off your meds and all over the place. My suggestion would be to go back on them at least until you can talk with a doc and work out a plan. Assault with a deadly weapon is not a charge to take lightly.

Okay, i'll go back on seroquel tonight. Pop a 200. It worked for me in 2015.
I do feel a bit mixed. I need to go back on it, you're right. My lawyer didn't pick up his phone, but i edited the PDF of the release of information so my p can officially consult with him. Hopefully he isn't too mad that i straight ignored him for 3 days. |

are you still abusing the wellbutrin? or anything else? that too will only make it worse
were you psychotic when you did assault ? or do you have problems controlling your anger?

I don't feel particularly depressed but certain songs and movie scenes make me cry. I wouldn't say I'm hypo-manic either.
