Wow, it seems to me that it is irresponsible for the pdoc to cancel like that & put you off for another 6 weeks. When I was having my meds tweaked I saw my pdoc once a week for a month, then to every 2 weeks, then once a month, then every 6 mos. if I seemed to be doing well, but I could call at any time & be in there within 24 hours if I was getting manic or depressed (which goes into suicidal thinking really fast for me).
I think bp is a serious mental illness that needs to be watched closely by yourself & the doc & therapist. If the pdoc is not doing this, it might be time to look for a new one. I "fired" one pdoc when he wouldn't change my medication even though I was clearly still depressed, but was not in a mixed state anymore. He thought that was good enough. Well, that wasn't a good enough quality of life for me so I found a great new pdoc who really worked with me & listened to me.
In any case, I think your feelings are completely justified.--Suzy
