I would seek a different medical professional. When my Dr. dx me, he first explained that the most common ways for mania to manifest itself were dangerous sexual activity, compulsive spending, and a few others I forget. I clean and do household remodeling when I'm manic.

Just because one medication did not work for you does not mean that you're not bipolar.

My husband is absolutely horrible with money. BUT he does not like the way I manage it either. I would rather pay extra on a credit card than buy some silly thing we really don't need today.
