Ok so I went to the doctor yesterday. Basically I told him about the overdose and how I didn't remember it. I've never done an overdose before, and this all scared me. Last Saturday made two weeks since the OD, and I haven't been able to sleep and eat good. Everytime I eat not even 10 mins later I have to use the bathroom.

I told my doctor all of this, and well a sour look came on his face. He told me he isn't prescribing me any more medicine other than my blood pressure meds and that I need to see a pyshcologist before anything else to determine what happens next and why did I overdose. That makes me angry because I've talked with a therapist before, and they suck. They listen while you give them money. But I don't have to pay for this, I just hate having to talk to people who don't really help you in the long run.

I'm sick and tired OF being sick and tired. Seems doctors don't care anymore.

You might should try a psychiatrist, that could diagnose you and prescribe the meds you need. He should be able to determine why you tried to OD and monitor you for further signs of self destructive behavior.

I've been told the same thing by my doctor about the medications, but I think at least in my case it's because my doctor is concerned about my safety & well being. I'd take his advice and find a psychiatrist.

Keep trying. People can be jerks about these kind of things, including therapists - there are a lot of bad ones out there, but keep trying to find one of the good ones. Therapy is hard, but the end results are worth it.

A PDoc would be wrong to continue prescribing medications that you could OD on without you seeing a therapist.

I know you think he's being a jerk but he's doing it because it's the right thing to do.

I agree with the others. I know it is hard but he is trying to keep you safe. If you don't remember the OD and what caused it then how can you assure him if he gives all the meds back it won't happen again?

I'm sorry that you have had bad experiences with therapists before but there are some good ones out there that can help. They aren't all bad.

I admitted to my new psych about taking too much Xanax (14 mg at once). He cut me down to a week's supply at a time, but don't blame him. He told me he has no intentions of prescribing something that will kill me. I don't like it, but actually do not blame him.

Also was the first one to do it. Each time I OD'd, I'd get out of the hospital and all former pdocs would give me a 30 - 90 day supplies of the stuff I'd overdosed on.
