How can you cope with bipolar mania when your tired of the cocktail of meds?

Awareness: Being med-adherent will help with symptom management building up awareness of symptoms and triggers of the episode will help with prevention. Having routines to make your environment predictable. Exercise, good nutrition, practicing relaxation, stress management and good sleep hygiene. Creating a crisis card for when the "episode comes", so people familiar with your situation could find you help.

Patience: Insight and understanding are also good. One needs to carefully always weigh the risks and benefits of any medication regimen. If you are doing well and functioning, then while i can understand you tiring of the meds, maybe you would function less well without them? I know personally, i take medications for certain problems myself, and I am glad they have drugs which are safe and effective.

Bipolar meds.: Medications have side-effects, & some have complex regimens, especiaslly if multiple meds. & on long-term basis. They do, however, contain symptoms & prevent relapse for the most part. Medications plus psychotherapy work best.
