Over the years I have fiddled with doses and flat quit some meds outright.

I see my Pdoc every 3 months, but he’s always been available to make some changes if need be by phone, he covers 3 different counties so his schedule is packed. But if I really need to see him I will get put in.

My Pdoc has never made me feel bad for making a change or just drop meds with out getting in touch with him. I honestly don’t know how I would react if my Pdoc every treated me that way... yes our providers has good days and bad but to make you feel that why? No no no . Be a damn professional, we are adults not 2 year old toddlers sticking a fork in a electric socket.

People dealing with mental illness are notorious for changing meds or stopping them.. we struggle with some really awful side effects, I mean akathesia ??? It’s horrific !! Who wants to continue swallowing a pill daily that is causing that ???

Sarah is absolutely spot on in addressing this with her. Fantastic advice as always.

I’m sorry you have to deal with this.
