Hey @Meowmy - it is difficult. A guy in my therapy group has it. Really nice guy. Very smart. But somewhat hampered. I bet you are a good friend

Good morning @StuF @TAB @Meowmy @Glisten
Woke up early but these damn meds wipe me out so can't get going in the mornings. We're also off the back of a mars/neptune square astrologically (square = 90 degrees apart in the sky) since last Friday (very sensitising and tiring). Have wondered whether I should reduce my medicine dosage. Whenever I have tried to reduce in the past have gone manic, could possibly taper it down a bit but I'm certainly not coming off of it. I'm almost on the maximum dose! Well off to get busy in the kitchen. Am making some sweet potato bites healthy junk food. The sweet potato has been baked, I will roll it in vegan parmesan cheese and mixed herbs, pepper and panko breadcrumbs. Got the recipe off weight watchers years ago HEALTHY!!!!

Yeah @SmilingGecko - the meds can be annoying like that!!! If you Do taper, best to do it with some supervision...which I know you know and that that might not be the easiest to arrange...
Enjoy the fruits of your labour 🙂

@StuF Haven't seen a shrink in several years now. I don't have backup supports in my community either which is why its so risky. Thought maybe could score one of my tablets by a quarter. It seems to be ok in the past. Might be able to lower it a bit without too much trouble but tapering as you know is difficult. I don't want to come off my meds just reduce it a bit. If the mania comes back can easily increase the dosage and use magnesium oil which always brings down a high. Have been doing well all these years. I don't want to sabotage myself by being silly
