Okay, that makes it much, much harder. It sounds like your best angle is to try to get your current pdoc to listen to you. One of my favorite sites on BP (II primarily) is psycheducation.org. Reading this website will give you ideas in general, but he also has specific tips on how to talk to your doctor.

Also, I would start tracking my mood in order to bring in some "data" to show him and also to help notice patterns for myself. There are all sorts of apps, websites, and forms for this so you can find one that suits you. A lot of people like the Optimism site (there is an active thread on this right now).

Best,
EJ
