Stopping antipsychotics

I’m trying to work out my mood patterns.

I’m thinking to talk to my pdoc to take me off the antipsychotic every few months… It seems the depression kicks in from December and starts to lift near during Feb. I think I would like to work round how I can try off them and go on them when needed.

Pdoc said I could try going off there’s nothing stopping me when my DX changed however I chose to remain on them and good thing I did this winter.

You’re bipolar right? Are you on a mood stabilizer? Just curious.

Yeah I wouldn’t try going off antipsychotics without some sort of back up. I’m not going to be med free if the pdoc agrees to it. I take tegretol too. Happy birthday btw or cake day? :hugs:
