it is unfortunate that your pdoc (psychiatrist) did not listen to you. it is sad that there are so many out there that are like that. i had a pdoc that put me on an antidepressant for my anxiety and within two weeks i was having auditory hallucinations, seeing things and kicked off the worse mania of my life. it was over 2 months before i got it under control. i still dont comprehend why she would do that when she knew how easily i get manic.

then a new pdoc gave me trazodone for sleep after i told her what the zoloft did to me. after i read what that trazodone was an antidepressant as well i didnt take it but asked if she was crazy prescribing it to me knowing my sensitivity. she assured me the dose was so low it wouldnt affect me. so i trusted her and after taking four over the course of a week i was hallucinating so i stopped.

so i have learned i just cant trust pdocs giving me antidepressants. i cannot take them. i have to advocate for myself and say no when they try and push them on me. take care
