Patients who are suffering from bipolar disorder, sometimes need regular medicine even when they feel fit. and it's wise not to shuffle between treating physicians.
As you have mentioned that you have responded to previously prescribed medication, was it re started by your physician or you self medicated?
Lastly I can advise you to get yourself thoroughly examined by nearest Psychiatrist. do get your routine bodily checkup done as well. There are alternative medications available if previous regime don't work.

Dear Patient, it happens, especially when some medications are stopped abruptly. But nothing to be worried, just get your blood markers done and ask your doctor to put you on alternative s. Up till that time keep looking after your emotional well-being and try to stay calm as much as possible.

Agreed but Once patients are started on Bipolar treatment, most imp in chronic disorders, especially when on anti psychotics and mood stabilizers , they need to get their periodic blood tests done, to keep in check side effects ( blood complete count, liver functions,thyroid profile , renal functions) , depending upon which group is prescribed.
