Thanks Coolbreeze and Beth Rags!
Beth Rags, somewhere I read an article stating how psychiatrists should be more assertive about ensuring patients metabolic health. In my psychiatrist's defence, he is always asking why my GP and nephrologist hold off on prescribing such treatments. It's actually angered him, and yet he doesn't get on the phone to them. They always keep saying "Well, not yet. Maybe..." My GP says I'm still not high enough risk for such meds, but everything I see implies otherwise. Certainly psych meds suck in that they cause metabolic problems, but I have to take the suckers. Without, I would become severely ill, mentally. In my case, the psych stuff, untreated, would be far worse than metabolic risks, I think.
