Last year when I got in a confused mess with my medication I had gone a week without taking my meds before I realised. I think because I get quite major mood swings it's harder for me to detect or I'm not exactly on the ball. One thing that I do notice is if I don't have my meds my anxiety rises and I get very jittery.

At the beginning of last year I was feeling so good I stopped taking my meds for approx. 5 months without doctors consent, which is not something I would advise,cos although I was doing pretty well at that time when I crashed it was seriously bad. A mate drove over 10 miles to come and find me after midnight one night cos I was talking about throwing myself on the train tracks.

The simple answer is keep taking the meds as prescribed to avoid any slip in mood. It is hard when you are feeling well and think you can cope without but definitely don't stop without seeing your GP or CMHT first
