Hi, LBrown1, I think you really might want to go back on medication if you are bipolar. Improviing your diet might help to make the drugs more tolerable, and you can always lower the dosage (with your doctor's approval) after you've gotten your diet in a workable, healthy condition for you.

This illness does some strange things: it gets worse as one ages without medication.
But being careful about things you are sensitive to and stayng with medications may make the illness much less troublesome as time goes on.

Take care of yourself, and thanks for the post.
