I'm glad to hear that you like your pdoc, all be it a new relationship, a good start is a good start.

I've also had situations in the past where I've changed to a new pdoc who has wanted to change my meds.

I've have heard of the AD/AP/MS that you are on, even though I have not been on them personally, myself.

Yeah that "angry" mania you describe sucks ... I can't stand it ... when I've had that in the past, I've literally wanted to punch people in the face I've felt that much rage - it's a pretty nasty feeling (just clarifying, no I've never punched a soul in my life )

What strategies (apart from your pdoc pointing out that it could be the med change), has your pdoc suggested for you as possible things you can use / time out - when you have reached the point of no return?

Because I know when I've felt like that in the past it's pretty damn difficult to just "stop" the thought ... it doesn't work that way.

But if you knew what you could do instead - dunno....stressball?
