Sometimes psychiatrists get overly obsessed with addiction. I know that well. It took me a while in order to get some providers to realize that that wasn't my main issue anymore, not that it was my CORE issue in the past, either. Would you consider contacting your pdoc's office to let them know your bipolar wasn't sufficiently addressed?

Things have reached that point -- I kind of feel like I'm crawling out of my own skin right now. I've been sober almost 20 years, so it blew me out of the water when he suggested drinking might be an issue. I have APs & ADs available, but my pdoc can't seem to give me any advice as to what to do. Things have gone off the rails where my relationship with him has gone. Finding another pdoc in this market is out of the question, too.
