Can I ask what the new pdoc is thinking? & what meds he wants to try?

He wanted to try meds and APs I'd been or currently been on. Geodon, abilify, risperdal, seroquel, lamictal, topamax, SSRIs because I am mainly depressive part of the spectrum. I've been on 10-15 different medications already. I've also had ECT. I've been in hospital 6 times in 2 years.The only reason I mentioned the rapid cycling and mixed episodes is because I was on antidepressants for 2 years before any doctors thought "hey, we could be making the situation worse, antidepressants cause rapid cycling" I'm so F***** fed up of all these doctors bull****. But how do I survive without medication???? Can someone tell me how?
