I strongly suggest that anyone having problems with MH meds work with a pdoc.
Of course , your GP is not trained in mental health he is for physical problems , and a p doc for Mental you would not ask a p doc to look at your boil on your bum. But the long waiting list to see a shrink forces them to give ADs has they don't like there patients suffering .
