That said, maybe the problem was with an interaction with other meds I was also on at the time. Many times I regret having told a new prescriber about a med I was formerly taking that didn't work back then. I find that they almost never bother to request records from the previous place, anyway, and I should have kept my information to myself.

Of course, all it takes is a

Me: "Welll...we haven't tried Geodon."

Script person: "Oh? I thought you said you'd tried that medication?"

Me: "Me? Nooo...." Shakes head, "I've never been on that one."

Script person: "Hm! Okay, let's give it a try!"

Me: "Okay. I guess."
The script person scenario seems familiar to me also
