I am without a pdoc right now but need to find one.
--Youre bipolar off meds? You must be bipolar 2. Why did you go off?

May I ask what reason did you give or how did you explain to your new pdoc about leaving the old one?[/I]
--I told her what I explained in my post.
Also, we have to leave the docs and ts who just sit there. Yes, bipolar need to vent but it's outrageous to simply sit there and bill the insurance.

It seems in my case, no one wants to take me on now as they think I'm a problematic patient for having left first pdoc.

--Write up all you info in a professional way (database or at least meds you have used with what result, bio, mental illness family history, timeline of your episodes.
--Would you be interested in emailing back and forth with me? The best bipolar group are online here. There's one left but covid has flared up again.
