Alas, trying out meds on folks has to be a process of trial of error--of tinkering around with different meds and different doses. I would tell the doc your main concern is to be able to function effectively at work. If you do end up with a diagnosis of bipolar, then most people are eventually able to get put on a satisfactory combo of meds. It takes patience. But please speak up with your concerns. It sounds like you have a good doc.
