he went to a new doctor for getting his meds and he told him to stop taking his lith and limeckal. he put him on valium and mirtazapine. I will not let him stop his old drugs until I can find out this an OK. I looked up the drug mirtazapine and it did not sound like a drug for bipolor. It said in the warning section to let your dotor know if you are bipolor. I really need some help before I let him stop stop his old drugs. He has ressless legs real bad, even in the day time, so I know what the valium is for. Help Thanks Sharon

Q: My husband went to a new doctor

I'm with you ... I wouldn't want him to stop what he has been taking unless there is a real problem there. Wondering why he went to a new doctor? I had to because the one I used to go to left that office and wouldn't tell where he went. I found another good doctor. I tend to like the ones that are "conservative" in that they are very careful when it comes to changing your medication or dosage. My first doctor was very "slow" with me - but in the long run, it was best for me. It was a process, but I got where I needed to be with his help. If your husband does need to stop what he has been taking, it'll need to be gradual and the doctor should help with that. I've been on the same med and dosage for 2.5 years and hoping it stays this way!
