Spent quite a bit of time with M. (therapist) going over the appointment I had with Dr. D. She and I concluded that I won't be returning to see him. I am seriously shaken up from his hostile manner. She's had several clients complain to her about him, similar complaints to mine. Her take is that it's quite possible he doesn't have the knowledge of how to treat a patient who has a mental illness and needs to be on psych meds, so he got defensive. She did encourage me to fill out a comment card, which I will do. She said that the "higher-ups" really do pay attention to patient input.
Something I thought about is that if he's around to help people get off medication, well, then there must be other doctors around here that do the same. I'll continue to decrease the k-pin on my own, very slowly, and in spring check around for a different addiction MD.
