Luckily hubby is off work today.

Well, if you have intimate knowledge of BP, you know that he'll continue to get worse. Almost without exception, all BPs do, as they age. You might want to consider taking care of yourself, first, and that might include taking drastic action--like moving out or getting a divorce. I have several married-to family members, that are bipolar, and while some very mild cases can go sans medical treatment, most cannot. Those that defied the need for medication ALL ended up very badly, and some did pretty horrible things to their nearest and dearest before the end.
Good luck to you, but if he has a lucid moment, were I you, I'd give him an ultimatum. Medical supervision, or you're out. Sorry to sound harsh about it, but you don't want to end up like one of my sister's husband's relatives.
