I don't know how I feel about the situation where a therapist and a psychiatrist give the patient contradictory instructions. I've seen that too, mostly when it comes to medication. It sounds awful because it leaves the patient wondering what to do. On the other hand, if the therapist and psychiatrist were in lock-step, always saying the same thing, that really wouldn't give the patient what he or she needs either.

You sound like you are not happy and are struggling to get by. There is no shortage of Meds in the world. Just because you aren’t lying in sobbing mess on the floor doesn’t mean that you might not need help. Please consult a doctor preferable a psych doc to get evaluated.
