I am on only 50mg of Seroquel and 1mg of Clonazepam which is a really low dose but I find that if I am awake or a little hypomanic they won't work in sedating me so I have to take a pill of Melatonin to get that extra kick. I know that is probably overdrugging myself but I don't want to increase any of the other meds.

I know what you mean about not wanting to depend on drugs, but if you take minimal doses and try to take care of yourself naturally (like I am with the melatonin) you can find a healthy balance with the medication in your life. Just as long as you keep the disturbing aspects of your bipolar away and stay out of the hospital, you should be okay. Nothing wrong with taking meds. I have come to accept that I have to take mine.
