Hello lybrate-user
your doctors advice is right
ativan and lonazep both are benzodiazepines which cause dependence. Meaning you can get addicted to them.
In the long term the addiction will result in memory disturbances, gait disturbances etc which you must avoid right now.
Reduce it slowly over two months but do reduce it.

Dear Pradeep,
I don't know, since how long you are taking these medicines. I don't know the diagnosis of your disorder. All these 3 medicines have been started at a low dose for you to tolerate the side effects. After 2-3 weeks, it will be increased to an effective dose. Then, there will be improvement. Please inform your doctor about the effective medicine and dose of it, in your previous episode.

Dear Priya,
Good mood stabiliser like lamitec will help you in the long run. Please don't stop them. Olimelt may be lowered or stopped according to your need vs side effects.

Low mood can be seen in variety of diagnosis. You need to be re-evaluated. Often comorbid physical illnesses and other psychological factors hinder in treatment response. They need to be ascertained and addressed. In most cases supportive and solution focused approach produce good results and are less time taking.

You are on suboptimal prophylactic dosage of medicines, possibly you are experiencing subsyndromal affective symptoms. Medicines need to be titrated in you which is possible only with consultation. Moreover you need to learn chronological and behavioral aspect of disorder in order to sustain normal mood state. This is an important aspect of bipolar disorder which if taken care along with medicines makes excellent outcome.
