I understand what your going through it is tough especially when your not used to taking medication regularly.

I suppose it all depends on how you feel, if you don't take the AD or mood stabilizer do you feel manic or depressed. If so, then you must push yourself to take them at all cost...Set your alarm if you keep sleeping during the time your suppose to take them.
If they don't seem to work tell your pdoc perhaps he'll let you experiment until you find what's best for YOU. If you don't take the medication and you don't feel extremely bad, that you're no longer able to cope then don't take them, but doing it this way is very risky.

I'm bipolar but I've managed to keep track of my moods and developed a way to cope, without taking meds. It has taking me years to figure out a way to do that and I definitely don't recommend it, but it was the only way for me.

Everyone must find a way to deal with their disorder the best and healthiest way for them.

Good Luck.
