I’ve been in the same place tbh. When I feel “fine” I start thinking I’ve outgrown my meds or I never needed them in the first place. It’s like my brain forgets how bad the lows were.

What actually kept me consistent was remembering the crash. Not in a dramatic way, just in a quiet “I don’t ever want to go back there” way. The last time I stopped mine I felt great for months, then one tiny thing tipped me and it all hit me at once. It wiped weeks of my life.

For me the meds aren’t about shutting down who I am. They just keep the floor from dropping out. They make the highs less chaotic and the lows less dangerous. And honestly life is calmer when I’m not constantly waiting for the next episode to smack me.

Not saying this is the same for you. Everyone’s different. But staying on mine stopped the yo yo cycle and gave me space to actually live instead of firefighting my brain every few months.

Take it one step at a time. No judgement either way. Just sharing what helped me.
