That's something I would communicate with him or her and see how it works. I'm newly diagnosed bipolar 2 after 8 years of misdiagnosis but some "doctor". And my advice would be, be straight up and honest, don't hide anything side effects or emotions. The one thing I took away from my new diagnosis that honestly in a strange way is a relief is that, the doctors can only work with what their given I use to not say a damn word and look what that got me? Be strong you'll make it through this!
