I am currently taking lithium and have been in"remission" for one month. The last time (3+ years ago) that I had a cycle, I stayed on the lithium for 3 months and then weaned myself off over 2 weeks. I plan on doing the same thing this time. I still get occasional light "shadows", so I don't plan on trying this for about another month, as it will be 3 months since the cycle started, which was in Feb. As Jeff stated, you should talk with your dr. and find out from him/her when to stop. Some meds are not good to stop "cold turkey", such as lithium.
