I forgot to mention that I am also bipolar. My advice to others on the question of choosing a doctor is to please make sure she/he has a very thorough knowledge of addiction. Some doctors, even psychiatrists, absolutely do not. After nearly three years in the recovery community, I have seen doctors prescribe totally inappropriate meds to addicts many times. Some of these addicts are no longer with us.
