How did you know you could completely stop colchicine and medication

I've been taking colchicine for 10 months (2 months with NAIDs and 8 months colchicine only and reducing the dosage with time). I'm currently at a low dosage of 500 milligrams every two days, and I felt really good for nearly 2 months. Even sleeping in positions that used to caused symptoms.

But I forgot to take my medication 4 days ago... Now I have like mid intensity symptoms and they are not going away that easily. I was supposed to try to stop colchicine in June because the signs were all good, but with what is happening right now I don't know how I feel about it... I finally thought I was free from pericarditis problems. My journey personally started on January of 2025 (19 yo woman).
