Hey Fluffy, just keep reading that book and you'll see why you should stick with your medication even if you start to feel better. Also, it gives you a more in-depth understanding of what medications you could try, should try, and what to watch for when you're on it (Chapter #5 I think...).I think that with the proper education that you really shouldn't have to worry about dealing with a doctor that doesn't fully understand the Bi-Polar condition. In the book, in bold letters, it explains why you should not try ADs without a mood stabilizer in place. Basically, as long as you know what you're doing for your condition, and you can explain to this doctor what you think you should do, then you'll be better off.
So just keep reading that book and keep on your mood stabilizer.
