If you are not having any unusual symptoms, let it be, It is not likely to do you any harm. Do not take any medications, supplements, herbs, over the counter drugs without consulting your doctor. Wish you good health!

Agree with Dr Singh, as this is a fait accompli. Since you appear to desire precise answers in detail, recommend you schedule a virtual consult at the paid portion of the HT site. Provide details of the bipolar issue, and doses of your meds and supplements. Have a list of questions available, and am sure that your interaction should provide satisfaction.
