Hi, I'm a 16y/o with bipolar 1 that missed a dose last night. From what I remember, two nights ago I missed a dose as well. Today, I noticed my mood was up and I don't know if I should let my guard down or whatnot. I'm on risperidone and valproic acid. I'm really tempted to go off my meds again. I felt sociable today and I don't know if I should attribute that to missing the dose, and I want to. I went months on and off my meds the past two years since my diagnosis and now I'm still having this invasive sense of impostor syndrome. 

Should I really stay stable when I can't be who I was or am? I'm still afraid these meds are impairing me. Any thoughts?

Also, would missing a single dose affect me that much given that I otherwise take my meds regularly?
