If possible I would just get an appointment with another pdoc. I see you are in South Africa with a large public health sector so maybe it is not possible to just get your own appointment. If that is the case can you go back to whoever recommended or referred you to this psychiatrist and ask them to give you a second referral? That way you can then choose; see if it is worth changing? If that worries you or is not practical, I would just see your regular doctor and go over your meds and concerns with them and see what they recommend.
