Hey Niko. My pdoc told me even with my meds I can still have the manic episodes but they would be closer to the "midline", in other words not so high. I don't blame you for the way you reacted because honestly I would have got upset as well. I do alot of things while I drive, talking to myself, smoking. I tend to "zone out" when I drive and have told pdocs about this several times and basically they tell me not too drive for a couple weeks but they have never asked me to surrender my license. I am kind of surprised by that just because it sounds like you are driving like you normally do.
Did you get up in her face or something because I don't understand why she would call someone else in the room too "observe you" That would make anyones fight or flight kick in if their doc has already upset them.
