It's unusual that the psychiatrist misinterpreted your energetic & motivated state of 2 years, it must have been a recent change which made him think on the lines of manic or hypomanic episode and consequently change in treatment. If you still feel that he has committed a mistake, you should definitely consult another psychiatrist in person and get things clarified and your treatment optimised.
