Okay, well.... I didn't take a test to find out that I have bipolar. My therapist, and psychiatrists observed me. They thought it for a while, that's why they were watching in the first place. Well, yeah, you're most likely going to get meds, and it's required that you take them. No, that they have alternative cures, such as herbs and aromatherapy. Doesn't work that way, sorry. And yes, your doctor can try and make you, but they aren't going to literally shove it down your throat. And another thing, meds won't make you have internal bleeding. Who told you that? Sure, every medicine has its side effects.. everything has those. And that doesn't mean that you will get those effects. Some maybe, some maybe not.

Hope I can be of help!

xp I'm not an expert, but I've been told that being prescribed an antidepressant without a mood stabilizer can cause rapid cycling in some bipolar individuals.
Here's some reading, including a debate involving antidepressants: Psycheducation.org

You're most likely going to get medication.
I don't think anyone can "make" you take it persay... honestly there are going to be side effects and you might frequently switch meds and change doses but you really are going to want to take it.
