I rearranged my day to drive for 1.5 hours into the city with my husband to see my doctor, despite feeling horrible due to meds not being right.

I told her I had akasthesia and trouble breathing from Geodon and she showed no compassion. She said just to stay at the lower dose that hasn't caused it yet. Instead of coming up with something new she told me to stop the Doxepin and switch back to Remeron since that was helping my depression more in the past (but was stopped due to weight gain) and since I asked about Lamictal, she's starting me on it next week and it will eventually replace the Remeron. I also told her that I'm now feeling terrible from the Adderall which was prescribed for extreme fatigue. She suggested nothing new and really didn't seem to care about how poorly I was doing. She said, "You don't look good." a couple of times, which just made me feel worse. (This was all in front of a medical student). Honestly, I feel like ***** due to meds not being right but I don't look nearly as bad as I feel so I don't know why she was saying that. She's helped me in the past but I feel very dissatisfied and am looking for a new doctor. Ugh!
