Detoxing

I have decided to go off of the bipolar medication that I have been on for the past three and a half years.  I need to be off of it anyway if I am going to have a family (which no, I am not doing yet), and I feel like now is the right time to give it a try and see how I feel.  So far I am off of everything I was taking but two drugs.  One of the drugs I can stop, but the other one I think I have to slowly go off of.  I have read up on withdrawal from this particular drug, and everything I have read is horrible.  Not only does it sound horrible but it sounds down right dangerous.  Of course I am going to do this with my doctor's supervision, but I have to admit, I am a little bit nervous about it.  I am not nervous about how I am going to feel after I am fully off of it, just nervous that something could go wrong in the process.  However I feel once I am off of everything, I think I can handle.
