I know of people who successfully got of lithium, but getting off lithium can throw you into a manic episode (caused by withdrawal), which may very well lead to psychosis. PLease be carefull, and make sure you're well supervised.
In case you go manic and psychotic, it's a good idea to tell pewople how to hamdle it until you get out of it (ie. baby sitters and lots of stuff to keep you busy during these periods.
