I was told by my psychiatrist to stop taking my anti-depressants once when I was manic, but I didn't because I wanted to prolong the mania, and it really worked for a while. Until the inevitable crash set in. I really miss mania.

to have FUN?!!?!?!?!?
you're really crazy for thinking it is fun to go off your medicine.

i've never stopped taking my medicine because i know
i'm a lot happier and stable with them. i am just as socialable as i was before.

withdrawl symptoms are outrageous
why would you want to cause so much danger to yourself?

No, as a matter of fact not taking them will make the manic phase worse, and cause you to crash faster.
I'll be honest I like being manic, I get so much done, My meds keep me manic but not manic crazy. It also helps with the crash.

I went off effexor once cold turkey....what a mistake, I felt like i was going thru heroin withdrawl.
