Duration of treatment depends on many factors like diagnosis, how many episodes, patient compliance towards medicines, regular follow ups, and much more.... So consult ur psychiatrist regarding drowsiness and ask him regarding duration of treatment too. Chances of relapse are high if u stop Medicine in between.
