If I have bipolar I'd like to try going of antipsychotics again

The problem is I don’t know if I am. It’s very frustrating not knowing. And I know I said I don’t care but I actually go through phases where I’m annoyed I have to take this medication.

First of all most people with bipolar disorder need to stay on meds too.
Especially when psychosis is involved.

Stay on your meds @anon25873142

I never said going off meds completely but trying a mood stabaliser instead but I guess maybe that wont help with psychosis

Speak with a doctor about it but you should really be on an antipsychotic AND mood stabilizer

If I’m honest I don’t think I need a mood stabaliser or maybe the increased Abilify is working as one … I used to be on 10mg but now on 15mg and feel tons better but I hate it.

Stay on the meds or you’re risking going to the hospital again

I’m not risking it… I went off them with permission from a pdoc but I doubt they’ll let me again.

Yeah I hate taking these meds too.
I just want to be skinny again but there’s not much I can do about it.
My doctor won’t reduce my meds
