Dear Donna,
Sounds a bit strange to me. But I dont really know you, maybe she has some reasons to. Generally I think that Fluanxol schouldnt be prescribed anymore. It has so many side effects. i am not aware of any use of Fluanxol for bipolar. I think it helps with depression at low dosage. Its disinhibiting, like Amisulpride for example. But it might also have an anti anxiety effect. And maybe she doesnt want to prescribe you any of the newer sedating antipsychotics, because of the weight gain on them.
And I am a bit surprised she somewhat ignored your bipolar symptoms. hmm, visiting another pdoc is quite impossible for you, as far as I know. Was this the appointment you were waiting months for? Quite disappointing.
Oh well, take care
Roland
