Bipolar Disorder: Bipolar Disorder can be tricky to treat. Sometimes it takes a number of trials to get the right regimen for optimum treatment. Polytherapy also tends to be required. I don't recommend changing to natural supplements. This may cloud the picture and could cause side effects. Take care.
