Is it possible to recover and go off meds?

I can never go lower than 2mg of risperidone
Right now I’m on 4mg

This past week, I went without meds for a day cause I forgot. And I was texting everybody I know about random crap. And creeping toward mania. My tell tale sign I’m manic is hypersexuality. And those thoughts were occuring a lot. So, lesson learned on my part. Plus they just added a different prn for my HI cause that’s been acting up and I don’t wanna be a danger to anyone. So I take my meds 98% of the time. I’m just forgetful.

Now I’m symptoms free for 4 - 5 days.
Am I recovered? I don’t think so

I want you to do well bud, I don’t have a one size fits all answer, if your doctor said to try it, I recommend trying and staying in contact if you feel off at all.

For me probably not, for someone else maybe . Never heard of such a thing.

I honestly thought lately that it was a life long thing cause the recovery stories I was looking into, they were in recovery but still medicated.

Interesting though that some aren’t… i honestly dont even mind meds anymore, i can still do my thing.

Just keep in mind that we’re 1% of 1%. Also, I’ve gone up to half a year without relapsing before - I may still faceplant.
