Question: Can a relationship work if your man is manic(bi-polar) and on lexipro and depakote.?
He is an awesome man but I am afraid to get attached. He is a teacher and a very smart man. In 7 weeks he has only canceled 1 get together so far. I do give him his space when he needs it. I dont want to get hurt ever again.

Good question but more accurately, I think you should ask yourself. Can you be in relationship with someone that has this condition.?
I understand your need to protect yourself. No one volunteers for pain. Think about him too. The best answers mostly come from direct questions. Being honest and expressing your concerns will at least let you both know whats up.
For your own good look into the side affects of the medication. Some medications have an effect on libido and other effects. My wife for example is on Lexapro and it has killed her libido. A source of frustration for me, but i am sticking through it.
All the Best.

being bi-polar has nothing to do with that. If you love him, go for it.
My dad is bi-polar and him and my mum have been married for 18 years.
You shouldn't think just because someone is on medication or have a certain disorder that it's not going to work out, that's very on fair to that person.
Just be sure he always takes his meds and things will be fine.Health Question & Answer

As long as he stays on his meds, you get counseling, get counseling together, and figure out how the relationship needs to work, sure. It just takes work, determined hearts and minds, and strong people.
