I'm really frustrated with my current pdoc. It seems as if she doesn't listen and refer back to her old notes. Point 1. I have a bad tremor in my right hand and foot (hince the name twitch). Every meeting she acts like it is something new. I get it on the 1st appointment it's something noteable. After that it is the same questions "Oh, have you been to a neurologist?" No not since last time we talked and I told you about this.
2. Last appointment she prescribed something that might make me sleepy. Well turns out it knocked me flat on my butt even taking it at night. The following day I could not stay awake. I drive a truck for a living so I can't risk something like that. Would you want to be on the road with a sleepy trucker? Now she's upset that i dont take it longer and let my body get adjusted to it. I CAN'T!!!! She's upset that the mood stabilizer I'm on that I can't handle 600 mg but 500 mg seems to be the sweet spot. Feels like she eventually wants to up me to 800 mg, but because at 600 mg it throws my anxiety into overdrive I don't want to take that much. Also why does a mood stabilizer mess with my anxiety that much? When I bring that up I'm meet with just take it at bed time. (I do that already which if she read her notes she would know this.) Then today I arrived 20 minutes before my appointment time to fill out paperwork. They recommend arriving 15 minutes early. I was not called back until 20 minutes after my appointment time. To me that is being disrespectful of my time. Especially when you never tell me why you were late getting me back. I dont show up 20 minutes late and expect to be seen then.

I'm just really frustrated with the whole situation right now. Whether I stay or go somewhere else it's a decision I make with my wife and she currently is unsure of what to do. I want to move on. She is saying stay because I was just prescribed and you medication for my depression.

If I was in that situation, I would get a new doctor. You can request to see your information to give to your new doctor so they know what all she has you on. She sounds like she doesn't care to take better notes to remember what you talked about. I get that she sees a lot of people, but that's why notes are super important. If she doesn't listen to you then she can easily prescribe you something that will cause more issues than you staying sleepy.
