I think they aren't sure it's going to help as well, they think its stopped working for me, so it's nice that she is even thinking about it.
Weren't you taking a really low dose on the pills? And you rarely took it for more than several days before stopping... then restarting... then stopping... and repeat. So they really don't know whether it will work for you. Maybe if you emphasize how terribly inconsistent you were, maybe they'll give it another chance? And as far as the risk of psychosis at first, can't they just watch you close, or maybe get it started in hospital?
