Hi.
Bipolar disorder requires prolonged medications and a fastidious compliance, else relapse might occur and then the disease prognosis goes down, along with avoidable hospitalizations.
In case the medicine stock is over, kindly visit the nearest facility at the earliest to get a refill of the medicines. You might get a list of the psychiatrists in your local city guide or directory. Else you can get in touch with the local self help groups to guide you through.
Hope this helps
