Hi FreedomFighter
I too have BP2, I was stable for 6 months and was taken off of some of my medication. Then I started to get mixed episodes just like you did. I'm still having it but it's less intense, most of the time.
I learned that for myself, I can't go off my meds if I want stability.
It sounds like although you have 2 great doctors, you may be getting mixed messages.
My concern for you is that if you feel you may have BP1, off meds you could spiral out of control. Even if you are BP2.
I think you should go back and speak to your own pdoc and make a decision before you get into serious trouble.
My manic episodes so it seems, get me into a lot of trouble and is disastrous. Don't wait for that to happen to you. The destruction just isn't worth it.
Good luck
