Maintenance Rx: It sounds like you are being treated for bipolar disorder, a chronic and serious but treatable mental illness. I suggest you forge a relationship with your treating psychiatrist and trust their recommendations regarding your medications rather than making unilateral and possibly harmful decisions. Maintenance treatment is recommended even in the absence of active symptoms.
