Talk to Psychiatry on Bipolar Disorder
Asking for Self, Male, 34 years old, Karachi
Salaam, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2007, and have been taking Zyprexa since then. I just want to know whether I will ever be taken off medicines or will I have to take them for the rest of my life. P.S: I still have depressive episodes if I don't take my medicines for 2 days.

Bipolar is episodic illness and frequency of episode decrease with time therefor mood stabilizing medicines are being prescribed to prevent episodes. Zyprexa is not a antidepressant. Medicines can be stopped in bipolar illness but don't discontinue your medication yourself your psychiatrist would take best decision to cure your illness.
For permanent cure of depression take homeopathic treatment and get rid of your problems
