I have to agree with Natalya.

BP is a serious illness. Using remedies that are not proven to work puts you at high risk of falling into a horrible depression or a destructive mania.

I am in Canada too and I know the system can be tough. If your psychiatrist doesn't feel comfortable managing your illness, please insist that they refer you to someone who does. Unfortunately, the waits can be quite long but there are some very qualified people out there.
