If you are bipolar, don't they typically put you on some kind of mood stabilizer along with an anti-depressant? I would think that the first line of defense that would be used for someone who is bipolar is a mood stabilizer. I find it strange that they would only treat the depression. Generally, the idea of taking a mood stabilizer is to help level you out so you feel less highs and lows and feel stable most of the time, and they add on the anti-d to help relieve depression symptoms if they are still there. (And there are various meds in other classes that help with this too)
Welcome to PC. I hope you're able to find a new doctor soon.
