I do have an excellent therapist who has strong knowledge of bipolar disorder and meds so he is also helpful in working with me to manage my symptoms. It is vital for me to have that extra set of professional eyes on my symptoms so I can be as proactive as possible in heading off my episodes as early in the cycle as I can.
I just wanted to ditto this as I also am fortunate to have a therapist very knowledgeable about bipolar, meds, etc. and has been very helpful to me in the same ways you mention.
So if you (OP) can find someone like this, I highly recommend having the help and support of a therapist for the bipolar (doesn't have to be some sort of 'expert', but knowledgeable and willing to help you with it) along with whatever other issues or challenges you may face.
