To make this a rather to the point discussion.. My new doc wants me to quit all of my meds cold turkey because he disagrees with my previous doctors on my diagnosis of bipolar 2. He thinks I have a panic disorder and agoraphobia. I am currently taking 50 mg Seroquel, 100 mg Topamax, 150 mg Wellbutrin XL, and Celexa 20 mg. I seemed to be doing well on this combination but I did want to readjust because I didn't think it was necessary to be on so many, and get to more therapeutic doses for the Seroquel and Topamax. An adjustment was needed, I do agree. Nobody wants to take a cocktail if not necessary.
He doesn't seemed concerned at all with taking me off these meds, but I already don't feel right. I was doing so well before. I worked out everyday (Insanity workout) was looking for a new job, relearning Spanish, needless to say I was my old self with the help of therapy as well.
Any ideas on what I should do? I know none of us are doctors but I was diagnosed bipolar 2 by two other doctors and all the sudden this doctor out of left field is throwing my life for a loop. I loved my old doctor but sadly can't see him anymore.
