Sorry BL. I've been given the same speech by a former GI doc. Told me to go to Mayo in Minnesota. Well, who can afford to go out of insurance coverage let alone travel and hotels.
I felt like a total lost cause.
I don't know what advice to give you...maybe look up some experts in your area, other than this long distance doctor. I got a book out of the library on the best doctors in the Chicagoland area...and you could look up psychiatrist and then see who list Bipolar as their interest. They might have a book like that for your City.
Also, tell him your concerns. Maybe he could consult with some other doctors and still treat you himself, but with some help.
Finally, it seems like there are a lot of us who get every side effect listed, and not listed, from any drug. I know I have been on about 8 different ADs because I couldn't tolerate any of them. I wonder if this is common with IBS folks in general. Maybe we have super hypersensitivity to food, pain, drugs, and emotional battles?
Lot of love, sweetie.
