I would definitely look for a new dr. She shouldn't be asking you what meds you want, unless you ask for them. When I was looking for a new dr 2 years ago, the big question I asked was if they were available if I was hospitalized. You would be surprised to hear the numbers of drs who won't take on patients, if there's even a chance of hospitalization. I was shocked. I had just gotten out of the hospital myself, and that really hurt me. I am soooooooo glad I found the dr I have now. He is awesome. I don't know what I would do without him. My pdoc before had me on new meds every 3 months, b/c my symptoms weren't under control, and come to find out it was all the antidepressants she was shoving at me. The first thing my new one did was take me off all antidepressants, and life has been so much better. I've been on the same meds for 2 years now, with dose increases, and he did add tegretol in June, but other than that, the same meds. That's a record for me. I am truly happy with him.
