A little more info:
1) I was on a Seroquel/Zoloft combination for about six or seven weeks before I started tapering myself off. I had a diagnosis of depression and social anxiety at the time.
2) I had only been seeing this T for about 3 or 4 weeks usually twice a week.
She doesn't manage my meds, but she is always interested in whatever I'm taking for some reason. I mean, I had specifically told her that I wasn't feeling suicidal or depressed but I guess she thought I was lying!
The reason I brought this question up wasn't because I'm planning on taking some kind of legal action against T (I mean, I'm still seeing her after all this time) but because it has created a kind of trust issue with me. But I suppose she probably was just concerned about me...
Thank you all very much for the replies.

guess that answered my question!
i can tell you that, although most therapists do not prescribe or manage meds, they do know a lot about how they work and affect people and its always important to know what your client is taking and how they are responding to it. this is why its a really good to have a therapist and psychiatrist who are in contact with each other....the therapist sees you a lot more and can offer some insight that the psychiatrist needs to help appropriately manage your meds.
