I'm not a good person to comment, because I'm often non-compliant, but you shouldn't go off suddenly, its dangerous both physically and mentally. As well as mood, suddenly stopping some meds can cause seizures and some really nasty GI problems. Maybe your dosage is too high, it might be something to discuss with you PD. I find the anti-psychotics flatten my emotions more than my mood stabilizer, so I managed to convince my PD to lower my dose. They will work with you to get the right mix, remember theres tons of different meds and treatments, and if something isn't working or tolerable for you, you can ask to try something else. Just don't stop without discussing your options first.
