Use your supports: Ask close friends and family to support you in staying well -- they can tell you what you're like when not taking your bipolar medications. Write down some things that you want to achieve in your life. Will your emotional stability help you stay on course towards them? Follow up with your doctor regularly. Get psychotherapy for bipolar d/o too. Stop alcohol & recreational drugs.

Maintanence: It is very important that you take medication as prescribed to prevent future episodes. There is very good evidence that the more episodes you have the more frequent and severe future episodes. Your brain wants to maintain an equilibrium. Most people pay for a manic episode by having a depressive episode. It's good that you are stable, the meds help you stay that way.
