So I haven't been too terribly thrilled with my pdoc lately. I'm on Abilify and Geodon right now, and they seem to have leveled out my mood and brought my psychotic symptoms to a minimum, which I am eternally grateful for. However, they sure haven't helped with my anxiety.

My pdoc doesn't seem to want to do much for my anxiety. She said she can increase my Geodon more to help with the intrusive type thoughts, but as far as anxiety goes, she refuses to add another med. I'm getting tired of living with it. Plus, I don't really want to raise my Geodon any because it already makes me tired.

When I first started seeing my pdoc, I felt like she listened to me really well, and was willing to address any and all concerns I've had. Lately, it seems like we've come to an impasse, and I think I'm ready to call it quits.

I have an appointment with her the 31st, and an initial consultation with a new pdoc the 5th of August. I'm nervous about meeting with a new pdoc, as I do like my pdoc now, but I just don't think she is hearing me about this anxiety problem.

Am I making a mistake? Am I just overreacting to my anxiety?
