Mine trusts me. I get the final say about med changes, what I am willing to risk trying, and what is too much to tolerate. Through the last year she was very good about letting me come to the conclusion I needed to start clozaril on my own time and kept working on other options (that didn't really exist) the whole time.

I wouldn't stay with someone I didn't have this kind of relationship with. I can't explain it very well but she treats me like a person instead of just a bunch of symptoms to be solved and I am 100% a partner in my care.
