He's been on a 6 month sabbatical which has made things difficult. But generally it's every 6 weeks.

Every four weeks because I get my injection. She said even if I were to go to the three month injections she'd still want to see me monthly for some reason.

Was going monthly and just moved out to 8 weeks. Next time she will probably go to 3 months if we don't make med changes

When I'm not stable, 1-2 weeks. When I'm semi-stable, 4 weeks.
I haven't been stable at all lately due to rapid cycling. I've been needing a med adjustment every 2 weeks. We've tried to go for 8 weeks in between sessions, but usually something happens and I end up seeing him 4-6 weeks earlier than anticipated. So, we just plan on seeing each other every 2-4 weeks now. |

Anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months depending on whether or not we're dealing with a med change. I also drop by in between appointments to pick up my free latuda samples.

Not stable, could be every couple of weeks. Stable was usually 6 weeks to two months. I haven't seen a pdoc in almost three years now though because I'm not on meds and in remission.

Only when it's time for me to get new scripts. He usually writes my scripts for three refills. I go see him in between if I have concerns abt something. I had to in the past and he saw me the same day. I was struggling really bad and had to have three emergency prns scripts wrote to ease my symptoms.

Every 6 months now that I've gained stability.
Of course there was a point in time I saw a pdoc weekly.

When I'm not stable--every 2-3 weeks (and they had me calling in every 2-3 days between my more recent appointments). When stable--every 4-8 weeks. Currently my meds are maybe more figured out, so I'm supposed to call my doctor at 1 week, then I have an appointment in 5 weeks (would've done 4 weeks, but the only available appointment time would've gotten me stuck in rush hour on Halloween).

I have been seeing my pdoc every three months for the past several years. My bipolar and ptsd are pretty well controlled on the same meds since 2007 with little adjustments here and there. If I don't get my neurontin and clozapine refilled on time I tend to get a bit manic but it resolves within a few days after restarting them.
My most persistent problem is low energy.

I was seeing my former pdoc every three months. Now I'm back to monthly because I have a new one and he wants to get to know me better. I've been very stable though, so we'll probably go to three months as long as everything is OK with me. No med changes on the horizon.
