^Sorry for the two different replies above. I thought the one didn't go through but apparently it did.

Anyway...

I understand where you both are coming from when you say she should have a list of the medications I've tried, and this is when being an over-vigilant hypochondriac is handy. I've kept a list of everything that my previous providers tried with me and gave her a copy of it in bullet point form. It was a really long one too, unfortunately. I'm overly sensitive to these psych meds and almost all of them trigger my IBS.

Maybe that's why she didn't give me the impression that she felt the records were an absolute necessity? Because she had a list of every SSRI, SNRI, tricyclic, benzo and other psychiatric medications I've tried that gave me intolerable side effects.
