I changed doc's when mine didn't seem to listen to what I was saying...my dx was changed to BP with new doc...My change was brought about as mixed and rapid cycling were getting worse and interferring with my ability to work.

In terms of orginally seeing a pdoc...during severe depression.

I've been feeling pretty stable the last few days...maybe a bit up...not sure...

Definately take that step...I know it is big...call today to make the appointment as it may be awhile before you get in...I try to do things like this when I'm feeling stronger...before I deside I don't really need it...

Good luck
