Differing behavior

Hello doctors. I have mood swings, I guess? Most of the time, I dont even realize the shift, but it definitely exists. There are days when I feel like a God, massive ego, laughing and happy for no apparent reason. Like happiness becomes my neutral mood, instead of actual neutrality. I remember saying things like "Life has no bad days, just average days" in one of these "happy" months. But then suddenly, life is the worst, I have no interest in anything, anything I pick up and pursue, I lose interest in it after a few days, I dont feel well, I get extremely low self esteem, where the smallest comment will have me crying for hours, and then thinking about it for days. How do I deal with these mood swings? Im currently going through the sadder phase of my life. A little background- I have PCOD, a general physician gave me anxiety medicines once because of my symptoms, the main symptom was constant lightheadedness. Something upsetting happened day before yesterday, I have migraines too

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.

But we can't cut off any medicine. At that cases how long she needs medication? Like 3 years or more?
