I have done well with mood stabilizers for 13 years now. Sometimes my psychiatrist has to change them, but not that frequently. I'm on Lithium, Latuda, Trileptal, Risperdal, and Xanax for Bipolar 2 and OCD.

I can't imagine stopping my medication because they make me able to function and keep a great job! I would never try to stop them without a doctor's supervision.
