Just be sure to read the 30 day trial thread that was referenced above. There is some great information in there.
No! Do not do this! Bipolar medicine is not like a vitamin supplement! Even if you *could* go without them, it will still be dangerous to quit cold turkey. It could kill you. Do not stop taking your meds without consulting your doctor first!!!
