My newest podc said over the phone today that he's reconsidering my orginal dx. Bottom line the current combo of Celexa and Seroquel is working right now. I give absolutely zero shits what my dx is, as long I feel good (or at least not bad).

I never got extensive testing. My original dx, through the VA, was 5 years, 2 pdoc's, about a million bottles of booze, one trip to rehab and 8 months (give or take) of sobriety ago. I guess the pdoc that told me I have BPII and gave me Celexa and Abilify (which I only took for about 3 weeks and then quit, returning to my boozy self medication for a couple more years), never entered a dx of BPII in the system. New pdoc wants to do more testing. I said no problem, as long as, regardless of what those tests say, we don't change anything as long I'm feeling okay. He assured me that was his intent, but wanted more info in case they stop working.

I didn't think I liked this pdoc, but I respect this. I think my early dislike might be partly from just how ****** the VA system is. It's tough for me talking to him through a TV screen, so it must be equally tough for him to get it right through a TV.

It's a whole new world I guess...
