My girlfriend refuses to take the medication for bipolar because they take away her artistic side and they cause her to get sick, but her moodswings are destroying our relationship. I cant ask her questions, she cant help me when my depression kicks in. And my love and respect that goes to her sometimes doesnt get returned by her.

I don't blame her for not wanting to take her medication.
If I was still taking doctor prescribe bi-polar meds I don't believe I'd be the same person I am today. I'm a singer/guitar player/and song writer. So I understand not wanting to loose your creativity. Being on meds made me feel more like a robot than a living, breathing, human being . . . I was numb.
I tried taking lithium (a naturally occuring mineral). You can order it off a variety of herbal and homeopathic remedy websites. It works for me and I don't feel like a different person.
