No one HAS to do anything. Taking medication is a choice you make, so the answer is no you do not need to take something forever. But I think what you might really be asking is if you need to take medication to control your conditions forever. That can only be answered on an individual basis and it can be very difficult to answer. Conditions/symptoms often change throughout a lifetime. Your doctor is probably the best one to ask because he/she knows your individual situation.
