Medical on LAPL refused

Started glider flying at 15 years
Intensive flying up to 30 years
After becoming 30, school, work, family etc. No more flying
At 55 diagnosed inherited bi-polar. Intensive treatment by psychiatrist.
Now stable 14 years ago. Treatment finished 5 years ago. From then on, for the rest of my life maintance medication of Lithium and Quitiapine
Since then full in life, working, driving etc.
Now at 65 to AME for LAPL medical.
All is ok, but maintance medication of Lithium and Quitiapine is disqualifying. Reason ? I do not know. May special tests be acceptable ? Testflights ?
Is there some way I can overcome this unsurmoutable hurdle ? I miss flying in a glider a lot..............
