In reply to Allison, I'm so glad that somebody said something about that. I've noticed for the couple of weeks that I have been on this site, that there seems to be a lot of talk of self medication. Of course, I don't know if people on this board are physicians or psychiatrist or plumbers, but it seems that decisions about medications should be left to the professionals in the office.
In some cases, I think that we may not like what is being prescribed for us and then we need to evaluate the person we are seeing or suggest other options. It scares me that there are places that allow patients to decide what prescriptions they should be taking.
My doctor listens to the symptom and suggests a couple of drugs and tells me of their side effects and allows me to make a choice from the couple he has suggested. To me that makes more sense than me going into his office and telling him what I want to take.
Thanks for letting me ramble on. I guess I needed to get this off my chest.
