Yes yes yes! Bipolar disorder can be serious and i know from experience it often takes a lot of trials and errors before the right combination of meds is found. My husband is bipolar and he takes lithium, lamictial, zyprexa, xanax, and prozac. He was on 9 different meds at one point. You need to tell your doctor you are feeling suicidal and do so asap. Hope this helps

I suggest you identify through some research which types of medication will be suitably used (without negative interactions) alongside potential hiv-treatment-meds you may be using in the future, otherwise it seems to me that you will get stuck at some point being unable to manage one of the two at a time they may both require treatment.
It is great of course that you are not currently on any hiv-meds. and long may that continue but it would seem rather dangerous to me to steer yourself to a point where just at the time that you may need to start arv's (and suffer the disappointment, possibly a degree of trauma that will undoubtedly bring in my experience) you are unable to treat your bi-polar disorder even though you have been able to treat it successfully up until then.
Are you able to discuss this with the Drs. the one treating you for bi-polar-disorder and the other monitoring your hiv.?
It may be wise to try and do so if you haven't already.
