The road to wellness is about an improved quality of life. If your quality of life has not improved then your methods are sorely lacking.

If your pdoc is not about improving your quality of life then get a new one. You have to be your own advocate, be vocal about your wellness goals, which trade offs you're willing to entertain and what type of things are deal breakers.

There a few members here who don't buy into the "fat and stable" mindset and their pdocs work together with them to make sure they don't get rxd pills that cause them to balloon and eat furniture.

In sharing that last paragraph, I'm pointing out that your MH service providers are a bunch of a.s.s.holes, douchetards if you will. Just because someone is unwilling to put up with shytti side effects does not make them a horrid patient.

I had a pdoc similar to yours, wouldn't listen to what I said was intolerable and instead of change my meds like I asked, he rxd a side effect med!

Guess I should thank the MOFO because I ended up flushing the lot.

Get a new pdoc, they are service providers and should be providing a service suited to your needs. Zombie suites nobody. Period.
I personally thought the days of Frontal Labotomies were over, evidently not.
