Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Ok so I know that I should not have done it, but I went off my meds for about 1 week. It was the best week of my life. I felt so alive! Now I am back on my meds and man do I feel horrible. I mean I am so deoressed that I dont know what to do. Luckily for me my husband is home tonight but he will not be here all the time. I dont know what to do. How I am going to cope. I am going totalk to someone tomorrow, but am tired of taking pills. It seems like that is all i do. I also have an autoimmune disease so I take many many pills for that along with my bi-polar. I guess that I am just tired of taking pills. I feel like a druggy sometimes with all the pills that I pop!
Thanks for letting me vent

I feel like going off my meds because I am sick of feeling like a zombie. Like you said I want to feel alive again. I am just scared that going off my meds will make me fall into a deep depression again and I don't want to risk it.

Neither of you are on the right cocktail if you are feeling this way. Both of you call your pdocs and report this. I was zombie like for a long time and then I said ENOUGH! Now I am on a great combo that helps me function and is not sedating.

I have tried to come off my meds several time because, just like you, I got sick and tired of popping pills. I was fine for about a week but then the depression would hit big time so I would start taking them immediately. It usually took several days before the depression lifter.
