I don't know. She's been my doctor for 5 years, so she knows me and i know she cares. But we have pretty different philosophies about taking medications, and she didn't listen to me when i wanted to come off saphris. Also it's really hard to find a pdoc where i live, and there are long waiting lists. Which is even harder for me, because i work in community mental health so have to see someone outside the usual routes through the private system and not the community mental health team, so
that makes it even harder. But i've been lying to her about being off saphris since August, because i could get in trouble for noncompliance, so i think she would be angry with me if i told her the truth at this point. I've really let things get complicated... I will probably stay with her.... My friend who is a pdoc asked me who i see, and when i told him he was really surprised and said, "really? She is a pure psychopharmacologist, but i guess that's ok if that's all you are seeing her for." I should have asked him to recommend someone else, but i don't really want to bring it up again. Plus my GP really likes and trusts her. She is a really good pdoc, just quite different from me as a person, so i don't think she really understands me on an existential level.

Haha, long answer
