A good care team is hard to find. For most of us it's key that we have a psychologist and a psychiatrist who we can count on. Start trying to find a working relationship with a great doctor in your area and try some treatment options. It sounds like you've been under either very heavy medication or none at all try to find that happy medium.

My wife and I found a lot of great information in a book called "taking charge of bipolar disorder "it has a just the facts style approach and has very candid and solid advice for loved ones of people with bipolar.
