Bipolar+ anxiety disorder

Hello, i have been diagnosed as bipolar iii+ GAD, and i am on escitalopram, lithium, lamotrigine and propranolol since 6 months, i am an mbbs doctor and i had taken escitalopram 20 mg for social anxiety issues in 2020 but then after three months i slowly quit those meds, after quitting i have developed sexual issues, physical symptoms and mood issues. Now that i am on these meds i have seen improvement in mood and social anxiety, but i still have sexual issues like low libido and possibly erectile dysfunction, also physical symptoms like fibromyalgia random muscle pain, pins and needle sensation and some ibs like symptoms. Unfortunately I cannot increase escitalopram bcz it causes me to switch and benzos like etizolam makes me drowsy. I also tried agents like tofisopam and buspirone but they didn't help. Now what should i do in such cases. Also i had really like really high Libido, also due to these meds currently i have lost that rage and motivation, is PSSD real? EMA is saying yes.

Bipolar disorder, anxiety, schizophrenia

My mother is on medication for many symptoms of mental illness like random illogical talks, bipolar disorder, anxiety and weird self talk and laugh by herself when no one is around, negative talk like harm to relatives son or daughters, sometimes feel very energetic etc . So the doctor gave her medicines - Arzu 10, d venisys, parkisys 2, safedeno 200. Attached screenshot for the same. It's almost 1 and half years since she is doing well. But we can't cut off any medicine. At that cases how long she needs medication? Like 3 years or more?
