On the medication front I'd recommend two things. 1. A psychiatrist and 2. Start connecting with people in the Drug Questions and Bi Polar sections of this site. There are just so many different med combos that there's no single answer to the question.
As for your family, I'd recommend they start by reading about your illness and should they need further help, to see a counselor or therapist on their own.
I hope that helps.
