I agree about the coincidence thing. As long as the stoppage in meds didn't trigger the situation. That was my concern.
You have to eat to sustain anything. Not eating produces a high and a crashOh, it did. It almost certainly did. But this is a good thing: It made me realize how much the med was holding me back. Now I take a different med, and at a much lower dose. I am exactly where I want to be.
Did you ever have any manic episodes before you started taking antipsychotics? Being extremely productive and creative, not being able to sleep, having no appetite, racing thoughts, and sometimes also hallucinations and delusions are all common in bipolar people going through a manic phase. Also, bipolar patients tend to be depressed more often than they are manic.It's a possibility but here's the thing: I have been 99% depressed/sleeping all the time. I heavily lean on the 'depressed' side of things rather than mania. Then all of a sudden I cut off from that med, and bam, I suddenly got a bunch of energy. It's hard to call it a complete coincidence.
This all sounds awesome, except that self care, aka especially eating enough, is crucial for sustainability. It's not about weight, it's about health. Keep the party going, keep the party sustainable!
