Hello everyone,

I have bipolar 1 with rapid cycling and mixed episodes. I have been stable using meds and therapy for more than a decade now. However, because of an unrelated health issue, I have to stop my medication for a while. I am tapering it, and it's going fine, but I can already feel a bit of irritability coming back. I've been able to hold it together thanks to all the CBT I've done.

I would like some advice on how to manage this moment, so I don't implode my life. Did anyone here need to go off meds for a while?

Thanks in advance
