Pdocs just baffle me sometimes -that he didn't tell you your diagnosis for one thing and you had to find out from seeing paperwork. It's confusing in your case as well because -I'm really not sure of this- but it seems to me that depression is part of bipolar so I don't see the utility of diagnosing depression along with bipolar. Plus he has you on an antidepressant without a mood stabilizer, which is just bizarre.
For all of these reasons, I'm glad you're switching to a different one. I think we have a right to know our diagnoses (in the current opinion of the pdoc) and why they're prescribing the meds they are. I'd try and have an open dialogue with your new pdoc to clear this stuff up, if you want to. Sounds like Wellbutrin isn't helping, hopefully he/she can try something else that will work. Best of luck!
