Meds and amounts we could go on and on about, but at the end of the day, what the real concern is is about the return of symptoms. And with no one IRL to watch out for you, it is worrying how that could go for you, blue. You've latched onto this incident with your T as evidence because your T is who you want to believe right now, because you are in the phase of denial. And thinking the pdocs don't know anything because they're telling you what you don't want to hear.
Hope this doesn't come off too harshly. We only want the best outcome for you and we're just worried how this experiment will go. History very much suggests it won't go well and we'd hate to see that for you. Much  |
My pdoc doesn't know me well as I've only seen him a handful of times and he doesn't know my history. And well, all these pdocs I've seen just shoved meds in my face without hearing me out. I was perfectly FINE on Lexapro and then the dose was reduced. Then I became horribly depressed.
My therapist told me during out appt today to talk to him -- and I will because she wants me to -- but I'm going to demand that I am taken off the lamictal. I have an appt with him 1 week from tomorrow anyway, so that's not too far away. And I'm never taking an antipsychotic again. I already told my therapist that. I also don't need a mood stabilizer at all.
My therapist knows me better than my pdoc for sure. I trust her more than anybody because I know she wouldn't lie to me about symptoms.
