Hi Barbie, firstly I must admire your strength.
I have a freind who has bipolar, and is on intravenous medication of some sort, he suffers from 'delusions of grandieur' when he cuts down on his dosage, I know you need to be careful not to mix the prescribed medications with the holistic alternatives like 5-HTP, SJW etc..there are side effects like a 'parkinsons effect' the medical profession have too much faith in their own drugs.
I wish I could help more, here's a book you can buy at Amazon.
