Hi, OD, cool name! Welcome to NeuroTalk, you might benefit from looking at our bipolar forum, there are many there who may know of medications that would help without interfering with your life.
I agree that finding the right treatment is more important than what others think. Your life is yours and to live it, the decisions have to be made by you.
