The relationship thing can get tricky. I trust mine completely regarding meds, even when we do things that are unusual, because she is a pharmacist and a psychiatrist and she specializes in hard to treat patients so she knows a lot of tricks. Plus when she doesn't know she finds someone who does; she's talked to a few other drs about me over the years that I know of. But I like that I can question her or make an opinion known (she had suggested trying a low dose of Depakote, the drug of evil, a while back and I kind of begged not to do that and she listened) and it's ok. She's not perfect and we've had our moments where things haven't been perfect (like it taking me about 6 calls and 4 emails to get an appt. for this month despite having been so sick lately) but she always comes through for me. She had breast cancer several years ago and in all the time she was treated I think she missed 2 appointments, both for surgeries. I think I have missed 3 months total of seeing her in the last 12 years. So I should stop worrying but that's sometimes what I do best.
