Yes. I've gone in there and announced to the pdoc that this is my 'normal self' and thanked him profusely for having 'cured' me, and told him how great I'm doing. To have him say 'you need valium and an anti-psychotic'.

I found it very very confusing at the time and it knocked me for 6 I can tell you. So I absolutely know how you feel, RapidFlyer. Now I look back and see the pdoc was right and it's all a bit cringey.

That's the thing - the difficult thing to accept, I guess - sometimes the pdocs are in a better position than we are to know what's a bit off (off the charts, you say she gave you - eek) and we need to rely on them and just go with it. I totally understand how disappointing it is, and to have yet another med adjustment, and have to wait to see the effects of it - you sort of feel like you will never get to find out what 'normal' is for you. The ground is taken from under your feet somewhat. I've thought I was 'fine' so many times.

It's worth persisting though because that's precisely your pdoc's area of expertise and why you see her (I'm not saying pdocs can never be wrong, but it's probably worth giving her the benefit of the doubt).

Good luck RapidFlyer, I hope you adapt soon to the meds.
