Yes, my psychiatrist seems to increase one of my meds whenever I mention I feel terrible. What he doesn't understand is the depression is due to side effects and feeling like a zombie and so foggy everyday. I'm even having narcoleptic symptoms.

those are scary...
My therapist witnesses and agrees that my meds changed me and are noticeably affecting me in a negative way. She wants me to call and leave a message or ask for a sooner appt than 7 weeks from now but I already know how he works involving these situations. It's frustrating.
I'm seeing a short term EMDR therapist as well. She's a neuropsychologist and thinks it is not currently necessary for me to be on any medications, and that I should first use intensive therapy to address the real issues due to PTSD and current situational strains. I'm at a loss with what to do. I have had such terrible and one traumatizing experience with psychiatrists and this is the first one who had stuck with me, never shows frustration, does not rapidly change me from one med to another, and knows/understands all of the meds I cannot tolerate.
