He gives it about two and half days on this new med and says its making him feel weird
Well Jehn, I can identify with that statement very well. I was 9 years sober when my bouts of depression intermixed with a few bouts of manic behavior finally got me to a psych Dr. I went through MANY MEDICATIONS until we found one that worked for me, and yes there were some that I could tell within 24 hours that they were making me feel and act WEIRD.

Each of us is different, so what works on one person may not work on another, thankfully there are even more meds out there now than there were in 1990.

I was diagnosed as being Bipolar 1. All that means is that I chronic depression with 'episodes' of manic behavior. Bipolar 2 is chronic manic with 'episodes' of depression.

I am glad to see that:

I now have a "plan" for myself!.............in the meantime I am going to stay out of the way and take care of myself, and pray that he finds his own way.
That is program in action!!!! Keep up the good work.
