Hi Rose,
Also, you posted that you wished that HE could communicate better!

Sounds like he's right. He's a bad psychiatrist.

I'm really glad you're checking the facts about this. Just because a pdoc tells you something, doesn't necessarily make it true. Get a second opinion! See another pdoc, explain the situation, and get that 2nd opinion. My guess is that you'll be told that what your current pdoc has told you is entirely inappropriate.
Take good care,
Okie
