100% go to the new one---sounds like she respects you---they are not your friend they are there to give you the medicine you need and that's about it.

I hate to say this but your dad might actually be benefiting from your sedation----a lot of times drugs like haldol were used to make people more sleepy so they would be easier to care for. The question in my mind is whether he is thinking of what is best for you or what is best for him. I'm not saying this is the case---he's known you a lot longer and he might have other reasons but just consider the fact that it might not be entirely altruistic of him to want you to stick with the current pdoc.

At any rate you've been very unhappy as of late and things won't change unless you change docs at this point like I said you can always go back to the same old clinic if you crash and forget to take your meds then make an appointment with the old pdoc and get back on injections---its really not personal for most of them they are just doing a job. There is no way to find out but to try it...I say go for it! The old clinic is your safety net you can always go back...so you have nothing to lose!
