off the meds

I know its a bad idea and I know I will regret it later but the fact is that I miss being able to think and feel for myself. My meds work so well for me but they leave me feeling empty inside , and I wanna be able to think for myself without having the blank days. I think its going well but the g/f has already figured me out and its only been a week. Naturally I lied to her and told her she was crazy but can Anyone else relate???

I can relate, but I decided I can handle whatever comes up being on meds better than being hospitalized and in full restraint when off meds. And that's no lie!

Yeah I've had plenty of times when I've thought of going off my meds, but haven't, because I reckon I will regret it later.

Best of luck I do understand not wanting to be numb but telling the gf she is crazy just seems mean lol but thats just me. As Gumbo said hope you don't crash too hard

It's always fun to go off meds, to truly experience the wonders of Bipolar Disorder.
If you're feeling that bad, tell your pdoc to change your meds. The goal is to live a good life, not one that's muddled and unfeeling.
Sometimes it takes a while to get the right combo of meds. But please, tell your pdoc.

how long have you been taking them? they made me feel like that in the begginning and I have stopped many times, but always end up going back, I need them and I always will.

Going off meds. is never a good idea as the crash will inevitabally happen. Maybe you need your meds. adjusting to feel on an even level. Sometimes it takes a while to get the right combo.
