Hi couch.. Hope all is well with everyone! Spending the day at home with the family as well all have a snow day. I am very thankful for the snow day as I left work with a nasty stomach bug. Its been years since I had one and it was bad! Feeling better today. I do come to the couch wanting opinions...

So, I am once again looking at going back on meds. There has only been once in my life that I have stayed on them for more than a month or two, but the year that I was on them I did well. So, T and I were talking. He suggested that I start working with a Pdoc and talk to the Pdoc about not only SSRI for the MDD and anxiety, but also try out maybe some mood stabilizing meds for the moods swings I have associated with BPD. He said that would be the aggressive approach we could take. Or, I could go back to finding a GP and really only go in there talking about MDD/Anxiety and leaving the BPD dx out of the mix and just getting SSRIs. He said, if I was to go on mood stabilizer he would highly suggest I be followed closely by a Pdoc who understands both psych meds and BPD more than a GP.

I have had many bad experiences with GP and having them truly understand mental illness, and understanding that I have a close relationship with T.. and really I am just using the doctors for the meds, I don't feel that I need another person to manage my psychological condition. Do you think Pdocs are better or worse at doing that???
