It is not you stopping, you need to consult your treating psychiatrist with whom you collaborate and decide the pros and cons of stopping, the chances of relapse based on various factor like duration, severity, past relapses, genetic loading, stressors, and much more. It is not a simple straightforward decision. Good luck
