Psychiatrist!: Mania is a condition best treated by a psychiatrist, rather than a primary care physician alone. There are many medications which can help bipolar d/o (including episodes of mania) -- and a psychiatrist will know them ; their pros ; cons. None are "perfect." please see a psychiatrist for your difficulties. Once stable, primary care doctors may continue your meds and follow you.

Meds; psychotherapy: Get a full psychiatric evaluation to assess for bipolar symptoms, and see if different medications are warranted. Next, find a reputable psychotherapist nearby who specializes in bipolar. Generally speaking, meds and psychotherapy together are the best approach. A psychiatrist will have the broadest knowledge base to help you.
