He was definitely a psych doctor. It was at a free MHMR clinic due to my income level. My mom and I recently realized he was using me as a guinea pig for his paying clients. As soon as a new med came out he gave me samples to see how well they would work for his "real" clients. Unfortunately I didn't realize this until just recently after I quit seeing him. He gave me the standard lithium to start with and quickly switched me to Zyprexa which was brand new at the time and I was told cost around $300 a month. He then put me on Geodon which was new on the market and I'm sure also expensive. I was put on Serefum which at the time was new. He told me it was new and if I wanted to look it up that it had the same ingredients as Prozac. I'm not sure about Depakote. Tomorrow I'm calling to make an appt. with a different doctor. Hopefully since I'll have insurance this time I might actually get someone who will treat me like a person and not a lab rat.
