Stopping mood stabiliser treatment
You should not stop taking your mood stabiliser without first informing your doctor.
If you need to stop this should be done gradually over a number of weeks under the guidance of your doctor. During this time and for a period afterwards you should look out for signs of your illness returning.
Stopping your medication may put you at up to a 50% greater risk of becoming ill again within six months and up to 90% chance of becoming ill over the next four years.
