Hi Randy!
You know doctors contrary to some of their beliefs are not gods. If you feel you aren't getting the right meds it never hurts to get another opinion. Sometimes another doctor might have a different idea.
I take seraquel and lamictal for my bipolar and psychosis and they work great yet I know others it doesn't work for. A doctor put me on Abilify and I told him I quit taking it because it was making me homicidal and though I am no stranger to suicidal thoughts I don't obsess over killing others. The doctor said it couldn't do that that fast. I told him I'm not taking and put me back on seraquel. He did because I didn't give him a choice. We must stand up for ourselves.
Sometimes we just have to push forward and not give up hope. When we lose hope that is when we are in dangerous territory.
Thanks for this!
