He has a good understanding of mental illness and wasn't a robot like the one I had before. I told him today my moods were getting worse and worse and he immediately knew to take me off of the adderall prescription that i have been struggling with taking responsibly. I asked him for Latuda which was a medication that i have asked for years with my old psych but the old psych wouldn't prescribe because I didn't fit the classic bipolar mold. I asked my new doctor and he was just like "sure, lets see how you do on that and check back in a month" like the previous psychiatrist's stubbornness didn't impact his decision at all. What a load off my mind. 

If Latuda is not a medication for me then at least i'll definitively know from experience instead of not ever knowing which is where i'd be still if i hadn't switched doctors. Not to mention the pivotal aspect of getting rid of that nasty adderall once and for all hopefully. I would continue taking it if he didn't care but because he did care and it came from a place of authority knowing that adderall makes my mood worse - something my previous doctor never really looked concerned about - i feel much better about myself not getting anymore. 

Just a small update
