Managing Bipolar Disorder: Seeking Advice on Finding My Baseline

Hi Alike community! I am interested in others’ perspective on managing bipolar disorder, what you look for in a psychiatrist, and how you find your “baseline.” I have been on my dosage of sertraline and lamotrigine for years and want to lower the sertraline (Zoloft) to find my baseline and don’t know if the long term SSRI pros outweigh the cons for me. I shared this with my psych today (5 minute convo as per usual) and she said ok, done sent to pharmacy. I want agency in my care but am puzzled. Should I “shop around” for another psych? I’m thankful to have good insurance so that’s no worry.
