I completely trust my pdoc. In addition to being an MD he's a PhD, and he's primarily a researcher, he sees clinical patients about 1/3 of his time, and he's really on top of all the meds. He's also a full prof at our med school and publishes regularly so he's on top of the research.

His latest thing with me, was not to prescribe more drugs but to prescribe mindfulness meditation, which he thinks will help me learn to regulate my limbic system. I really like that he's open to non-med alternatives.

But I've generally had good luck with pdocs.
