I'm not BP but I'd heartily recommend An Unquiet Mind for anyone struggling with meds. Even some of us unipolars may need to be on meds for a lifetime. I can still feel pretty conflicted about meds, but it used to be so much worse, and I bailed out on a lot of meds maybe without giving them a fair chance. My pdoc at the time had me read this book and it really helped me with this issue. I've reread it a couple of times since then - there are messages in this book that need to be reiterated. For me it's like getting a booster shot.
