Kerry,
Ditto what JohnL said.
I have taken info in to the office about meds I was thinking might help. I have gone in with specific ideas and he has used his experience to guide me into a similar but slightly different med. I have also convinced him to try something new and he has let me go ahead.
I have had experimental periods with Naltrxone and Provigil because of what I have learned here. One successful, the other not but at least I am looking out for my own health.
I really like my pdoc but I only have 15 minutes a month with him and I have to squeeze everything in. I know best what happens to me every day. He knows that I am a user of the internet and he has since started to use it himself. I have no idea if he uses it for professional purposes but it's nice to know that he can get some of the same information I use.
Please don't be afraid to go into your doctor's office informed.
Chris
