It's not a good idea to stop any of the prescribed medications if you're a diagnosed Case. In mental illnessess, relapse is a rule rather than an exception and anxiety, sleeplessness are the initial symptoms of relapse. Kindly consult so that your medications are optimised.

It is NOT a good idea to stop medications for bipolar disorder without proper guidance from a psychiatrist.
The risk of relapse can increase substantially if you do so. Anxiety is the most common early symptom of relapse.
Please consult your psychiatrist for help on medications if the ones you had were giving you unbearable side effects. They can be changed to others that are better tolerable.
