I'm bipolar type II and like you, have more of a problem with depression. I had to off my meds to washout because I was starting an MAOI. Those 3 weeks of the washout period were hell. I went off my antidepressant slowly and it was still hell. I became suicidal and depressed like never before. I thought that surely I would take my own life because I didn't want to wait for the Parnate. I somehow got through those 3 weeks and then started the Parnate and started to feel better.

If you do decide to go off your meds, do it very slowly. But I hope that you will decide to stay on them.
