There is stigma out there and I think it's about finding supportive people. No doctors or therapists have ever mistreated me due to my dxs. If you asked for benzos or narcotics, w/e, that might be why the psychiatrist got upset. I'm not sure. Also, benzos and narcotics are not used for borderline, they are for like anxiety I believe... I thought I read somewhere antidepressants can help. I've never asked a doctor for a benzo or narcotic and they have prescribed them to me, but I never took them...but the point of them was for anxiety, not borderline freak outs. That could be some of it. I'd say you get a new psychiatrist.
Also, I'm pretty sure mood stabilizers are used for bipolars...not sedatives. I'm not a doctor, though.
I think it's true that psychiatrists and doctors as well are hesitant to just prescribe narcotics and benzos.
Get a second opinion?
