She's a very good doctor. No doubt in my mind about that. But i have difficulty connecting with her. She's very bookish. Literal. Like say, Abilify was first launched as an weight neutral AP. But as it turns out, its NOT. We all know that. we have all experienced this kind of myths firsthand, and we know better. But she refuses to believe it can cause weight gain. So the blame comes down to me. Like she starts to believe that whatever weight issues i am having are a result of some psychological disorder. Even when i tell her that, look doc, when i stop taking this med, i stop binge eating, my diet goes back to normal. So obviously this med is causing the change in appetite. This actually happened today. You know what she said.., she said, okay..but why NOW? after 3 months? LIke her theoretical knowledge in this context is based on the fact that a med cant just suddenly start causing side effects, if it would have caused any side effect it would have started within first few weeks. She just keep posing more challenges, rather than accepting what i'm stating to her based on the real experience i go through. The debate goes on and on and she finally sorta writes me a new med, all the while saying stuff like, okay lets say, you are right, lets agree what you are saying is actually true... etc
One would say that atleast she wrote me a new med prescription, even if she didnt believe me. so what more do i need. But i gotta say, it hurts, really hurts. i mean she is the one person who is supposed to trust me. know what im going through. I dont know. it just really pisses me off.
Just wanted to vent. Actually have an appointment with a new doc, next time, so fingers crossed.
