It took me several reads to figure out what was actually being said... The following is my own opinion on this, and I think it's what you were also trying to say; please correct me if I'm wrong.
I have many people that I count as friends, and whose friendship I value, and yet I cannot cope with their company when they're off their meds (or said meds are otherwise out of whack). So I simply keep away when that's happening -- but I DON'T keep away when their meds are back in order -- and should they ask, I hope I have the guts to tell them what's up. Ending the friendship seems like much too high a price to pay unless something truly serious happens.
