Well my excellent pdoc is officially retired and today I had my first appointment with a new one. He read my file and asked me some vague questions and then told me that someone on the amount of meds I am on has no business working as a nurse. He said we should get the ball rolling on disability. I was really upset by this. My old pdoc recommended this guy and I wasn't expecting this kind of negativity. My old pdoc always told me he was proud of me for keeping it together enough to hold a job. This new guy said that if I really needed to be on all this meds then he's surprised I can hold it together to work. I told him the only reason I could do it is because the meds for the most part are working for me. Sometimes I do have a hard time keeping it together and I have to take a few days off and my old pdoc would write me a doctors excuse. I'm really upset. This guy says if I'm going to insist on working as a nurse then we need to cut back on my meds. I need all my meds ! I don't know what to do. He is the only psychiatrist near my house that's taking new patients. The next closest is and hour away but it looks like I'm going to have to try someone else. I'm really stressed put about this.
