But... no discussion, just said he wouldn't work with me. Of course I am terrified to remove my Welbutrin if nothing else since it has a proven track record with me.

The funny thing is if he had wanted to work with me to find other options I would have been open to that... but he didn't say that, he just said our "goals don't overlap." He seemed genuinely disinterested the entire session barely looking at me. I really think he had it in his mind to fire me before I ever said a word, which makes me wonder why he even scheduled the apt!
I dont disagree with the suggestion to change your diet, as I feel a lot of symptoms could be alleviated with proper diet; view food as medicine and youll have to take a lot less chemical medicine.

however, for 18 minutes and no script, I would not have paid for this session.
Thanks for this!
