Thanks for the support everyone! My current pdoc made my former pdoc look like an amateur. I didn't have the normal hour long session that an initial appointment would have, but they had me fill out an assessment beforehand (very thorough).

I told my old doctor I wanted to try Lamictal, but he refused because of the rash. At first he put me on Abilify, knowing I had no insurance and couldn't afford it long-term, and then he put me on Neurontin, which studies have shown works no better than a placebo as a mood stabilizer. Then the Zyprexa issue, when he knew I was bulimic, even though I objected.

I'm feeling a lot better with the direction of my treatment and I always feel that the patient should have some day in its direction. I research meds thoroughly and actually used to be a counseling major in graduate school, but because of a car accident and then bulimia, I had to withdraw. It's been 2 1/2 years since and I even think my Bipolar may have something to do with that as well. I just have so many disorders that are comorbid.
