That's good news.

Maybe the therapist can recommend a psychiatrist (if your not crazy about the one you meet in January). That is how I found my new Dr. My therapist gave me a list of highly recommended Dr.s. I now see a psychiatric APRN. She listens to me and is really working with me to try and get the right med combo.

My last Dr. just wanted me to do as HE said. Wasn't willing to work WITH me.
When I'm manic they give me meds to bring me down, but a person can not stay at that same dose/meds after the mania dies down, because then ya get too low- as it usually goes- depression follows mania.
