Copd can be controlled very well with medications. Patients sometimes think that they are better and they reduce the medication on their own, that's the worst thing. Discuss with your doctor, he will help you in reducing your medication when he feels you are ready.

It's supposed to be lifetime but modifications can be made only as per your lung function test by the consulting pulmonologist. Consider vaccinations as well if you're above 60 years of age. Multivitamins have no specific role in COPD management except may be an improvement in cachexia due to COPD.
Next Steps
Continue regular follow up with the consulting Pulmonologist.
