Mine get along just fine and they both know each other. My GP usually ends up dealing with me when I have intolerable side effects from the psych meds and I don't realize they're side effects from the meds--GP doesn't want me to stop them cold turkey when this happens, but refers me to psychiatrist who then deals with it. GP also will refill any of my meds, including psych meds, if I can't get a refill from psychiatrist.
I can't tell you what to do with your GP and psychiatrist, and I'm not sure how it works where you live. Does your psychiatrist write the prescriptions every month or does he/she figure out a combination and your GP handles the prescriptions every month?
In any case, I hope you can find two doctors that are willing to work together.
