Then I forgot doing that and found myself without meds and reuesting refills... my doctor was irritated that I would keep coming in requesting different meds and presenting with completely different diagnoses, and he said I was a very difficult patient.

If this is DID well,,, and Bipolar 1, how in the h am I going to manage to stay on meds.

I manage my memory with lists. I have a notebook for all my accounts and passwords.
Maybe a notebook for each "mood" for each "me"?

i am just trying to manage this and forgive me if I cannot explain myself fully, and that I do not have a formal Dx, (as far as I know).
each person manages their medications based on what kind of medication they are on for their problems and based on their own treatment plans on how to take that medication, how much and other medication issues..

so my suggestion is contact your treatment providers that are prescribing your present medications and any future medications. they are the ones that are treating/prescribing the meds and what dosage, when to take them and all that medication issues /so they are the ones that you need to talk to about these medication issues.
Thanks for this!
