Wow rude,biggest misconception i have seen in a long time!
First in my opinion scott could have easly NOT assumed as he did no such thing,but include in his "advice" the mentioning of bipolar,i did too,why?
A. You mentioned that your doc believed this was a possability,so much he wants to add a strong mood stablizer.
B.Rather then put your foot down,you instead are posting about the drug instead,giving the impression that although you dont agree your willing to maybe go on with your docs treatment hence part of the orignal question.
C.In a case where a patient,myself rather is dead set aganist a docs view or treatment course,i leave,i am gone,again the fact that you dident seem to mention this,but instead ask about his idea of treatment shows your in confusion as to whether or not you are going to.
D.Scott,being nice as he was took the time out of his day to answer you,which he choose to do,and i personaly think he was being very careful in his advice speaking generaly never stating you were bi-polar but stating if you were in considering this with your doc by allowing the possable addition of lithium.So his answer to you was well rounded working with the info you gave him.
Last even if he did misunderstand something you felt you wrote clear,HOW RUDE of you to attack someone who holds a enromous track record of good advice and considered a asset here simply because they miosundertood your post,if he did perhaps you could have replied with an answer correcting him to what he read wrong and i truly doubt scott would have debated with you whether or not you were bi polar but instead answered the question.
If you take in to account how many people have been helped by scott,how many people value his advice,how he has posted here,how many conflicts he avoids,and on and on,i think perhaps you might come to a 360 and actualy appreciate he took the time out at all to even read and reply to you,and that calling him RUDE was prob furtherst from the truth.
