Unfortunately one of the symptoms of any disorder is that we don't think we have symptoms and that they are not that bad. In January I stopped my meds for two weeks because I didn't think I was bipolar and that I didn't need meds and it was all in my head and secretly I was just a liar looking for attention. The only flaw in my logic was that all my symptoms returned with a vengeance and I did get psychotic even though I haven't had symptoms of that in a very long time. I returned to my psychiatrist office in pretty rough shape and started new meds and I have been better ever since.
I invite you to analyze your thinking. Even if you think stopping is a good idea, it is best to do so under medical supervision.
