Also when I left her office yesterday we decided I would start on the 40s, but now she said start at 20mg, the pharmacist said. They have to order them.
Do you have to have an np instead of a pdoc---I mean psychosis is not the easiest thing to treat and the nps don't get the same residency experience as pdocs...most of them do inpatient so they get to practice on really sick patients and its shapes their knowledge base...I mean for depression or something easy I'd totally trust an np but for psychosis or bipolar I'd go with a pdoc if possible...
