Hi again
I feel a bit strange talking to you about this given it is your field of expertise but you say you feel there is too much reliance on medication and I would agree. You will probably shriek with horror and I would never recommend it to anyone else but I took myself of regular drugs nearly fifteen years ago. They made me feel so awful I decided that it I couldn't make it without them I would rather just die. I learned all I could about the disorder and finally found a drug that I could use just if I was becoming elevated. There are obviously degrees of biopolar and I think mine was largely a reaction to my marriage.
I now have a wonderfully mellow partner who helps me stay beautifully grounded.
Good luck with yours
