I have come off lithium twice (to get pregnant). Last time I came off 900mg by going down by 100mg / week and then just stopping instead of going down to 300mg (as by then you are way below the therapeutic range). I never had any problems from coming off lithium this way but it does take time.

I came off it straight once too and did go manic, but there were other factors too.
