Frankly, if I were in your shoes, I'd stay on the prescribed medications until you feel relatively stable, then discuss some changes in your diet with your psychiatrist. You already know from reading other posts here that certain changes in the foods, drinks, etc., that you eat have a significant bearing on feeling tone.

I followed a change in my diet and was able to reduce meds to 10 mg Prozac once daily and a food med called Deplin (a concentrated form of folate).

I had the misfortune, too, of having a psychiatrist who wanted to pour the medications on, and I just frankly told her that I was going to do something different from what she thought was the route to go. I went to see a more moderate psychiatrist and was very content with 100 mg Lamictal daily and .5 mg Clonazepam for sleep as needed. Then I got to work on the diet and lemon things you've heard me talk about. I was Bipolar II, also.

(If the first thing they do is pour on the meds, be alert. You may
feel quite different on the second visit and the psychiatrist could easily
recognize that what appeared to be a serious state on the first visit
wasn't necessarily a typical one for you.)

There is risk of damage to the brain over a period of years if you go untreated. The risks for psychotic breaks are more severe in bipolar I, but the depressions of bipolar II are severe.

Because judgment can be affected over the long run without medications, I'd stay with a workable plan for meds. Why don't you discuss this with your psychiatrist and ask about meds that have fewer side effects.

Every medication out there leaves an acidic residue or ash when digested. You already know the ideas to reduce acidity of tissues and fluids, so you could manage that probably over a period of time by following changes in your diet.

I am one who dislikes taking meds, too, and I found the way to keep things stable by taking Prozac in small dose and Deplin along with working at diet and adding Omega 3 acids (which is a real life saver for many aspects of your physical and psychic conditions).

You really could benefit by being perfectly honest about your feelings. The "coctail" of meds should not be so strong as to make you unable to function; it should be enough, though, to keep you stable.

Sleep is especially important. If you have trouble with that, ask for a prescription of something to take until you get your brain chemistry stabilized; then I'd stop taking it unless really necessary because some of them are benzos whcih can be addictive.

Take care of yourself physically; that goes a long, long way in preparing you to have fewer meds and lower dosages of the ones you do need now.
I really can't see that marijuana is beneficial in the long run. People tell
me that weed is far more concentrated than it was years ago, and some people are having to go with a 12-step program to get it out of their
systems and get themselves back on a path to health. But then wheat
can do similar things, so we just have to be careful, in my view.
