I've found the use of plant medicines to keep me grounded, to control problems immediately as they happen, and at rare times to use immediate acting pharmaceuticals for very short periods. The meds that require a 6 week wait/gamble just don't work for me.
I've had all the meds you would likely take for bipolar...lithium, lamictal, depakote, multiple antipsychotics...and for me they provided a quality of life less than if I didn't take them. For others they can be useful.
