Hi. This Was The 1st Year I I Was Taking

Hi. This was the 1st year i i was taking medication to treat bipolar. It has helped me through a couple of rough patches this year. However, i have never been suicidal and my bipolar was not severe. Several months back i become a very spiritual person, which has helped my issues greatly. I also stopped drinking and avoid the things that i know trigger my depression. These avoiding these toxic things are all in accordance to my religious beliefs, so i don't see these things being an issue again. i never intended to be on life-long medication for this issue. i'm of child bearing years, and i will not take this medication much longer. i'm a nurse, and my psychiatrist is terrible, so i'm in the process of finding a new one. She has me taking 3 500mg Depakote ER tabs daily (1500mg), which i've done for several months now. i want off. can you please help?
