I do feel overmedicated actually. We have discussed it in therapy as a source of problems at work (feeling foggy, making mistakes), but I'm getting irritated with how hard she is pushing about it. My pdoc won't call her back. She's now encouraging me to find a new pdoc but I'm happy with the one I have. He is open to my suggestions for reducing my meds, but I haven't been successful with doing it because I keep going through periods of instability.
My therapist has never seen me hypomanic and I've been going to her for almost a year. I don't think she understands that you only need one hypomanic episode to warrant a BP diagnosis. I really like her otherwise, but it just messes with my head to have my diagnosis questioned.
