I've been off meds before--I stopped them suddenly, did OK, then had a period of agitation, parranoia, and psychosis, so I had to not only go back on the medication, I had to go on a higher dose to get the problems under control.
Now, I'm wondering...does there come a time when you can safely, slowly taper off your meds? I don't want to waste my life being crazed or end up in a mental institution, but I do wonder if at some point, after maybe a couple years w/o depression, mania, or significant psychosis, I could slowly taper off and live w/o meds and psychiatrists?
Any thoughts?
