Boy, do I ever connect to what you are saying! I felt distanced from my spirituality and from God when I was on Epival and Topomax, but decided it was because I had been swinging way too high spiritually before my diagnosis. Although I felt closed off by the meds, I was still connecting to my calling in ways others could recognize, but I couldn't.
I don't know if this makes sense or not. Oh, could I tell you a story about that one! At the worst part of my last crash, right in the middle of it, with my bishop fully aware of what was happening, i was called to be president of our women's society. I mean the day - the week of the crash. That told me that God doesn't take excuses, and neither does he look down upon those who are bipolar. To be bipolar is a spiritual power that God can use to help others, if you channel it right. Did I say that right? Sometimes my grammar goes to bed before I do.
