Hi Sillygirl,

Of course the only one who can answer that is either you primary Dr or your psychiatrist, but I do know that p-docs will check labs to monitor any side effects that may come from your meds.

You mentioned your nutrition was bad too so your p-doc might want the results to monitor your counts for anemia etc.

It is not unusual for them to request copies every now and then, just to "keep an eye on how your system is reacting to meds."

As far as sharing info between docs, you may have signed these forms at the beginning of your treatment when they have you fill out all that paperwork without even knowing. They usually include that form up front.

This is all in your best interest. That's a good thing that they want to check to make sure all is well.

I do think that your nutrition issues are probably what's being monitored.

Hope that eases your worry a bit.

Petunia
