The thing about my pdoc is, she'll tell me to do what I think is best. They tend to do that with me these days. I've been on psych meds for 33 years, I guess they think I can figure things out by now. Frankly, sometimes I wish my pdocs would be a little more...doctorly.

Wow — 33 years for me, too! And I have the same ‘what do you think will be best for you?’ reactions from MDshrinks. I can’t recall the last time that I heard, ‘let’s try >>new med<< for a bit.’
When folks list their RXs here I don’t know many of them. I’m on the same meds now as I was twenty-years ago. All generic, now. A very, very low dose of an antidepressant and very, very high doses of antipsychotics. And Xanax. I quite understand the desire for pdocs to be more doctorly.
I’m counting the days until I see my therapist/shrink next week. It will be our second meeting and I hope that I can quickly learn how she operates.
Hope today/tomorrow, you’ll have a good one.
