When do i know the right time to stop taking my bipolar medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not simple: There is no simple answer. First symptoms must be under excellent control. Second, you must work closely with your provider to see if any of your psychotropic medications can be tapered. It must be closely monitored for recurrence of symptoms. Some people may need to take one or meds throughout life.
