I had to do that with my pdoc one time last year.
I was hypo at the time but at least I got my feelings across.

I'm not to good with confrontation, the last time I stood up for myself years ago and I wasn't even disrespectful, the one doctor from another office called the police and tried to have me arrested at my home and tried send me to a facility he runs in another state.. I'm not very aggressive and I don't do well when talking back. Yeah they are excuses, fine.. Maybe I don't need mental help, maybe its all in my mind.. Perhaps I am faking and there is nothing wrong with me.. I have officially given up, I won't fight it anymore..

Do you have a PCP yet> Try asking him or her to write your scripts. S/he might or might not but it's worth a try. After you tell the person your situation they might be willing. My PCP writes my scripts for my antidepressants.
Good luck, and chin up.  |
I have never tried going to a PCP for psych issues as in the past I have been told to see a PDOC through out my life, and when I was much younger things were much better, I got the feeling that people cared and wanted to help. However in the last 10+ years every time a new doctor comes through I feel I have to fight, fight and fight some more to get what I have been taking all my life.. Sure some meet me half way and all I need is an opportunity to prove myself, but the last PCP I had was bringing me in every week at one point and saying I had thyroid issues, and Renal failure... where another doctor said I was fine after he did the same tests, then a few years later I moved again and that facility was very similar to the one I'm talking about now, they would see hundreds of patients and I was just one of them like cattle..I wasn't taken seriously and I just didn't go back. I'm no wimp here, but when it comes to being in a position of weakness, I have to see a new doctor almost every time I walk in, PCP wise.. I miss the days when I had my own PCP not seeing a different one every time.. Maybe I should just accept my condition and be happy I'm not worse.. Maybe I have been lying to myself, maybe I'm not mentally ill at all, maybe I'm just a *****..
