you can re start them but I would restart the lithium and clonazepam at half doses for a few days to let your body get re adjusted to them and remember as I am sure you have been told many times before these meds are for life stopping and starting them is setting you up for a cycle and when you go up there is always an awful drop down

Hello.........I have been tracking your questions and answers for the past couple of weeks. I thought something was going on, like you had stopped taking your medications. My friend, you absolutely need to take yourself into the hospital. You are so lost right now, that I am afraid for you. You need to let the doctors get you level once again before starting back up on your meds. Just do it so that we can all feel better. It is difficult to try to answer your questions because we know that you aren't listening. Your illness is in charge right now and you are making some extremely bad choices. Please, for all of us at Yahoo answers, and yourself, take charge , and just get the help that you know you need. Take care of yourself...............

Do take them again. When you started taking the meds you started out with a lower does, do that and build yourself up to what you were taking. When you start your meds again ou might experience the side effects like you did when you started taking meds. Plus next time before you stop your meds talk to your doctor before hand. It is very dangerous to stop that sudden.

I agree. Start taking them again. Write down how you feel now. That way next time you are tempted to stop taking them you will remember they do help. Don't be going back and forth.

you just stopped taking them so why cant you just start taking them? they are prescribed to you for a reason so yes take them as usual!...you must be young so you should be talking to your mom and doctor or psychiatrist about this not the public of the world

You can start taking them again with no harmful effects. It may take a few days to get you back on schedule (mood swings, etc.).

I think you can.
But, can I suggest you to talk with your Dr.?
Tell him why you decided to stop taking the pills, and how do you feel after it....
