Some docs get a hard on for one particular drug and forget that in psychiatric meds there is no one magic pill. Everybody is different. Maybe just mention to the other two Pdocs that if they could come up with a better alternative you would consider it.

You do know about disability rights? It's a protection and legal advocacy group, there's one in every state. Google; national disability rights network and from there it will lead to the advocacy in your state. They might be able to help stop them from forcing you to take a med you don't want to take. Under disabilty rights is another group called PAIMI. It's protection and advocacy for individuals with mental illness. That's the branch you want to talk with. There are no fees if the take your case, it's a federal program.

I looked it up their toll free number is 800-928-8778. You can tell them that you were on a 90 day mental health hold then your pdoc reported you non complaint even though you have been taking meds prescribed but you don't want to take the drug she is pushing on you so now there's a danger of forced meds.
