I've reached a point now in my treatment that I'm sure everyone in my situation has experienced... Do I really need to be on these drugs ?
I feel so good right now I am questioning the need to be on any drugs at all. Maybe I'm not even Bipolar. Maybe I was just going through a rough time in my life.
But in reality, I know it's the drugs that have gotten me to this point of feeling this good. I've done enough research to know that I would reach this point in my life. I also know it would be pure foolishness to stop my drug regiment.
It's funny that I've reached this point. I don't think there is an article about Bipolar on the internet that I haven't read. I believe I've read 25-50 blogs about Bipolar illness. All of them lead to the same conclusion... Meds do work, and don't stop taking them just because you feel good. I don't want to go back into a mania where I don't sleep or feel bad so I'll guess I'll do the smart thing and keeping swallowing all the pills...

Hello, I thought I'd add a few comments or two. Im studing to become an LPN, and soon enough Im sure I'll know about BiPolar, or BiPolar 2.. All I can say and know is that talk to your Physican about that.. If you go for days and days of feeling normal, that could be, miracles happen, diseases are cured ever so often!
Cheers'
I had also been through that phase when I wondered whether I need the antidepressants. The truth is the antidepressants helped to stabilise my moods, without which I went back to deep depression.
I am bipolar also and I have been tempted lately not to take my meds or to ask my doctor to reduce them. I have gotten him to reduce them some because I was feeling drugged and sleepy, but I keep thinking I may be "better" without them.
But I know intellectually I can't do this. I know, like you know, that we can't go off drugs or else we will get manic and crash.
But when you're okay it's hard to remember how bad it was. It's like giving birth -- the pain is unbearable while you're going through it, but you don't remember afterwards so when you do it again,
you barely remember.
Here is my blog about my relationships with my psychiatrists and therapists:

Hey,
I am so happy to hear you say this. I am one of the folks who went off and crashed over and over prior to getting the message. Seems the less ups and downs you allow yourself the more cognitive function you keep as you get older. Hang in there.

"BREAKING NEWS"
===============
-Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.
These newly enhanced Globa| Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth
before they can be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for
lumber is 30-50 years.
Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number
of other benefits. Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and
the lack of oils and sap found in the wood make it resistant to forest fire,
ensuring higher returns on investments.
T
he wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
time to replant and develop new root systems.
Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140
Million with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With
anticipated growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during
its initial 9-year cycle.
Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153
Million in revenues. As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree
continues to grow around the world EGTY believes additional multi-million
dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of
250,000 infant plants per month.
Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business
owners in New Zealand, Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular
and profitable fast growing infant tree plants. Inquiries from the governments of
Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.
Conclusion:
The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
This s-t0ck will not be a Secret for long. Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right
Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!

I understand what you're saying 1000%. In the beginning it was especially difficult for me to think I "needed to be on meds" all the time, and i would stop off and on...which only made things worse.
Best wishes to you,

What would be good is if I could find a doc that would like to give me meds and a proper diagnosis... I just found out that the psych assessment has possible bipolar that they have me right now down also as boarderline personality disorder which I do see too!! But with the counsellor that I am with he has also pointed out that bipolar II would be a likely too!! So, for me to get meds.. I have to go to the hospital and go through crisis and hope to anyone listening they do not admit me!!!! I am in a manic I think as it is oh, 0345 and I am wide awake again and have to be somewhere at 0750 in the morning!!!! What can I do?? Go and take my chances?? My head hurts just trying to think this over!!!!
