I meant he isn’t violent or aggressive, the majority of people who I’ve ever told about his disorder has assumed he was dangerous, so I automatically assume I have to clear that up.
It’s harmless in the sense that you shouldn’t ever have to feel worried around him. He can only cause harm to his responsibilities and his psyche.
You’re very unaware of the little differences that being in a relationship with someone who is atypical mentally requires.
When he keeps up with his medication he takes it on his own no problem, but on the off times he misses a dosage or during an episode is when I have to step in. He wants to be on his medication, but when he’s off of it he goes against his better judgement and refuses it.
You don't "have to step in", you are choosing to do so. In the absence of any clear information from you about what the problem actually is with his behavior, I'm reaching the view that you're a control freak.
I think the OP made herself pretty clear in her other comments (if you bothered to read them). He is a danger to himself if he goes missing in the middle of the night and drives hundreds of miles to visit his sister that lives only few blocks away and doesn't come to work the next day.
Those actions may be stuffing up his life to some extent (which would already be stuffed up because of his condition anyway) but they don't constitute a danger to himself or anyone else.
considering the situation, since his judgements a little askew when hes off it. and the fact he says, when on it, that he wants to take it, makes it completely ok.
Would you force/sneak your s/o to take medicine they need?

Pretty useless response. But thanks anyway.

K, then why are you asking if it's wrong?

I’m not. Just asking others if they see it the same way I do.
Made a “drunk person” analogy in the comments that I think you might better see my side.
