Five years ago, after I flunked out of college, I not surprisingly got depressed and sought out help. Around this same time, I was being weaned off my ADHD medication for the first time in my life...long story short, someone decided that I was bipolar and now I feel like I am waaay on too much medication, but 2 psychiatrists later, I feel like my voice still isn't being heard. I take 15mg of adderall in the morning and 600mg of tripletal 3x a day and then 200mg of topamax and 300mg of lithum at night. I just recently started seeing the second doctor, and he doesn't believe that I couldn't possibly have been misdiagnosed and that I don't not need medication, and that more will make me better!!! I am not an irrational person and if I wasn't misdiagnosed, I can live w/ that, but I was, I do not need to be medicated any longer, but how am I supposed to convince a psychiatrist that on routine basis hear from patients that they're not nuts that I'm not???
