Hey everyone! I see the point now on the whole DX concept. I guess for me, I was thinking that a DX would help with the meds.
I don't need a DX from T at all. He's working wonders with me just the way he's doing things. I should've clarified that I was referring to picking the right meds.
Although, our bodies build tolerance and eventually we're on to another med anyway. The adderall is a great example. I needed very little when I first started taking it. Now I take 30mg/day and that doesn't help me into the night when I'm studying as well as it does during the day when I'm working...
A never ending cycle. I wish my T could prescribe that is why I am frustrated by the having both of them. My T has all of the key information about me and my p-doc doesn't.
With the p-doc it is a 15 minute med check visit only. I called though and said I need a longer session and we need to talk about some recent developments. I can't see her until Aug 10th. At first it was Aug 16th but when I said I'm open then on the time, the 10th was still all she had.
So I'll just keep cycling...if my T could prescribe I'd be well on my way by now...that to me is frustrating. In fact, his medication recommendations are usually not wrong but one time I mentioned one to my p-doc and she got upset.
She said something like 'he's a psychologist right? I said yes and then she said 'so he doesn't handle medication right' and I said yes and then she said 'good, I just wanted to make sure that you are clear about that'
I wanted to quit her right then but I'm giving it some more time because that was the only real complaint that I had. I'll re-evaluate after I see her on the 10th and become more CLEAR with her.
