Correct me if I am wrong, but do you have bipolar disorder?
And you say your doc wants you to change? Out of what, will power? If that is the case I think that not only you should definitely change doctor (I never give this advice because it is better to stay with someone who knows you, sometimes they just haven't thought of other meds or treatment) but you should also complain to his department or board, whatever the case.

My father is bipolar and without medicine he would never have been able to function.


Keep me informed.
