seesaw!
couple of thoughts...meds in theory are supposed to help with slowing the cycle of up and down and how high and how low...so it is good that you are going to talk with your p-doc. In preparation you may want to take an inventory of what things have been going on in your life...write down things like sleeping erratically, eating lots of sugar, how things are going with a significant other, etc...this way when you do talk to your p-doc you'll have something down and don't have to worry about remembering/forgeting some important stuff.
As part of our recovery, I believe that meds can only take us so far...so figuring out what has been going on lately will help to see if it is constributing to some symptoms. Once you spot some symptoms then maybe some action plans can be developed to minimize the symptoms. This has helped me a lot
