Then I weaned myself off seroquel, and she got really, REALLY pissed and actually started yelling at me! Never saw her again after that appointment. Fcking bytch.
So I guess, technically, I fired HER.

Is there something wrong with Tylenol anyways? Yeah, if you shatter your femur maybe you want an opioid, but Tylenol is good for like headaches, fevers, minor breaks (like just cracked metacarpals or something), sprains, sore muscles.... if Tylenol works, would she prescribe Percocet (and can no one give me her number when I want it?)?
I hate when they prescribe hydroxyzine too. Does nothing to me. Maybe increases my anxiety/paranoia because what if it's not actually hydroxyzine but they don't want to tell me what it is?

I've never really gotten screamed at, but I've had a doc repeatedly very loudly reprimand me for having a bouncy leg. Sorry I have undiagnosed/untreated ADHD-combined type, am hypomanic and have psychomotor agitation,
and your meds make me restless as hell??

There was this program I was in and out of for a bit, and after my initial BPD dx I told the med provider and she basically said I can't have BPD because she likes me, and then at some point I guess that changed because as she discharged me the last time she put it on my paper. They still let people call them in crisis situations for a certain amount of time after discharge, so I called once and she helped me, yeah, but told me I can't call again because she's not going to continue to enable attention-seeking behavior. Not really kicked out, but not welcome back.
