happy place
I think no medication is the way to go. Who wants side effects?
If you know yourself well enough then you can tell when you are starting to slip. You could always go back on the meds if you felt the need.
I'm not bi-polar so maybe you shouldn't take my advice. I have suffered from depression in the past though. But I've been med free for over 2 years.
Sorry, I didn't mean to reply to this with this blog ID.
That's cool. I thank you for taking the time to write.
I know that if I didn't take meds, I'd really be fucked. I've tried to do it on my own-that didn't work out for me. I'm sure you can find a happy medium. The sexual side effects suck but so does feeling the way you feel. You have to decide which is more important to you. What does your wife think?
She thinks I should do what it takes to be happy, but of course she needs therapy as well. She is very high strung and snaps out very easily. Sometimes I think she is bipolar as well, but everytime I tell her she should go to therapy she tells me I should go. To which I argue, I know what my problem is. You don't. 
Maybe you could go together?
Just a thought....
I thought about it, but I think that would be weird.

Not that my opinion probably matters much, seeing how we don't know each other.....however I'll give it anyway.
Being bi-polar isn't something that you can just live with. If you have actually been diagnosed as bi-polar by a medical professional it means that you have a chemical imbalance in your brain. The ONLY was to correct this imbalance is by taking medication. This doesn't mean that you have done anything wrong, it's not your fault, and lost and lots of people fall under this category, but to truly function at your optimal level and to be happy and live a 'normal' life (whatever that means anyways
) medication is defienetly the only way to go.

And I have surrounded myself with people who try to understand that the way i act sometimes isn't my fault. I just got married and sometimes she gets angry when I withdraw from crowds or hide out in my room. But I tell her you have to just love me this way or I can go on medication. I have heard a lot of horror stories about medication, that they make you like a zombie, or you don't feel anything. So I am petrified of doing something about it. Eventually I will, but it is going to take a while before I do it. Thank you yufor taking the time to write me.
I know that epilepsy is very different than bipolar disorder, but I know what you mean about finding the right mix of medications. It took me almost two years and it's worth it. There's so many different kinds of meds that I'm sure there's some out there with side effects that won't bother you at all.
You can always stop taking medication, but how will you know if you never try.
True...just afraid I guess. Taking that step is a big one.
