I think it's really unbelievable how ignorant doctors can be...my gen prac is the only doc that I come close to trusting, and unfortunately, I have had to teach him more about ADs than he has taught me...I am fortunate to have him, though, because he listens to me.
My Pdoc does not listen to me...just prescribe, prescribe, prescribe, and the man has so incredibly many patients that I am sure that NONE of them get the attention that they deserve...and of course, when something goes wrong, he is never available. I have found that when I am completely honest with my GP and share the information I learn online and in here, he is more than willing to prescribe me what I know I need...I guess I am lucky in that respect.
I wish you all the best of luck with your doctors...it's sad that the cures for this disease are so motivated by drug companies...don't ya just wish a surgeon could go in and rip out the part of our brains that are causing these problems...haha...dream on, Rick...
