Not all BP'ers go manic if they take an AD . I am BP I and I will go manic so I do not take AD's

I know most doctors prefer not to offer AD'S to BP I ... But it seems many BPII take them fine .

Best to write down specific question or concerns so that you are able to get the answer you seek during your appt.

If you are unhappy with your Pdoc can you find a new one?
