I am an intelligent person with the ability to figure out what may or may not be wrong with me both mentally and physically. Part of intelligence is not diagnosing myself to the point that I think I know what medication I will use. Not only is the Internet full of quacks selling crap meds but there are no safety checks when getting your own meds.

Let a shrink prescribe your original meds but don't be afraid to speak up about both your diagnosis and treatment. I was prescribed meds that have major interactions with both my COPD and my other medications. Some of the side effects of combining the wrong things are disability & death. Yet none of my doctors even mentioned it. Why? Because they either did not know or did not even bother to check.

Actually the pharmacist never caught them either - 3 out of 3 times.

Don't blindly trust doctors, therapists, pharmacists or support staff. They are just people and like most people they are often wrong! Do your own research, taking into account both reliable websites and anecdotal evidence.

It is your life.
