Everybody I know with that has had to have several med changes (4 to 6) before they find one with the right fit. Esp. if he's not working now, maybe this would be a good time to try to do that? I think that would make your M a lot easier for you and beneficial to him. I've read that with manic depression, you basically should be on medication, one of those like schizophrenia where it shouldn't really be optional.
