It took 20 years for my bp1 diagnosis to be correctly identified. Believe it was mainly because I was not cycling so radically nor rapidly. As long as my symptoms were treated and it worked; from anxiety, ocd, pstd, MDD, and finally to full manic mode several times this past year. I was fine with the changes.

I would look at it as a positive notion that your Dr is actually asking for your input. I know it can be frustrating process.
