I wonder if it has to do with the clozapine. It's very rarely used for BP and maybe your doctor feels it is more appropriately used for schizophrenia? I am on it definitely for bipolar but it is supposed to be a last resort for schizophrenia, not bipolar. I just ran out of the other bipolar options and needed this one which is probably fairly rare. Diagnosing based on the treatment that works doesn't seem right but I wonder if this is someone's attempt at that.
