Bipolar diagnosis but i think I dont

I had a bipolar diagnosis a year or two ago now due to getting ideas of someone after me and running away from home. They put me on medication and I stopped it recently. Now today they phoned up and urged me to take the meds. I phoned up a solicitor and they said I don't have to if I dont feel I need to.

Just wondering how to go about this as I don't feel I have bipolar. Not anymore anyway. I think I had a real reason to get worried and run off but they probably would not believe this. My B12 was low, Folate low and My Vit D was low shortly after this episode and I have been supplementing these.

Basically I am worried that if I stop meds they will be nasty and try and do something. I have asked my GP to call me today to discuss the situation. I really do not like taking psychotic medications especially when I feel pretty ok.

ANy ideas? Really I want to get this diagnosis quashed but I think it will be an uphill struggle to do so.

As your post is not thyroid related, and no-one here is medically qualified to comment on your diagnosis, I am closing this post. You should discuss this with your doctor.
