This is a revelation I had last night while my mind was racing and I was not sleeping and up ready to take on the world after skipping just 2 days of abilify. People on the celiac board had tried to tell me it could be because I was not eating gf and that once I was eating gf I may be able to go off the meds. Guess that is not the case. I think it may be time I accept this disorder as lifelong and stop trying to deny it. Ugh.

Do you know that I do the SAME EXACT THING after being BP my whole life? After 4 hospitalizations...after years of meds...after rapid cycling so much that I don't know which way is up down or all around??? I still do it...in fact, last night, as I was also up and ready to take on the world, I decided that I didn't need my meds and was going off ALL of them (except Ativan, lol). Then about an hour later, I begged my dh not to let me do that...then I begged him to let me take Prozac again (big mistake for me!). He obviously wouldn't let me.

Anyway, just wanted to say that I so know what you mean. Hang in there...we're all right there with you.

Love you,
