I would never stick with a pdoc who didn't even bother to ask me how I'm doing or listen to my self-reporting about how things are going. I mean how irresponsible, he is basically just shooting blindly in the dark if he doesn't even get any feedback from the patient.

Outside of anxiety meds over the years from my primary physician, I've had two pdocs that I can remember. The first one was extremely aloof and condescending. I only saw him that one time, never went back and refused the prescription that he gave me. My current pdoc is actually pretty great, she listens and is respectful and lets me have a decent say in my treatment.

Psychiatric medications affect our brains/minds, so there is a massive deal of trust involved when it comes to taking these pills prescribed by pdocs. If a pdoc is not worthy of such trust, then it is best to move on if possible.
Thanks for this!
