Hi Angela,

I commend you for taking the steps toward a healthier lifestyle. I am
in the process of going vegetarian as so many in my family have
serious health problems due to poor diet and lifestyle.

I too am bipolar and I total understand your plight. Although I am no
doctor I will tell you DO NOT discontinue any medications without
consulting a doctor. The withdrawal symptoms, etc. can be very
dangerous. I went through a terrible time of going off medication. I
am not anti-medication but I feel that as a whole, our society is
overmedicated.

I think that diet plays a huge role in ones moods. Fasting is not
always healthy, especially for those prone to depression. I think it is
best to consult a doctor, a nutritionist and focus on the eating habits,
exercise, etc. first. I just want you to be safe.
