My current pdoc is just reading notes that my previous pdoc had left, so he's just blindly following what that other guy wrote. If I were to get a new pdoc, the new pdoc would just read all the notes and do the same thing. They just won't hear me out.
Once a person has had documented psychotic symptoms, it's going to be a high priority to look out for that.

Do you feel now that you never had symptoms of psychosis? I am having trouble reconciling some of your present posts with some from the past.

I have had the tendency to minimize my past thought disturbances when I was in a more normal frame of mind. I also try to minimize the medications I take but I want to be sure the psychotic symptoms remain at bay and don't return. I am also tired of going to the hospital. It is just not worth it to have another severe episode and a low dose of an AP is the price I have to pay. It is mind numbing but my normal mind is unwell.
