Yeh,
I really wasn't sure whether to post that to you or not. didn't want to offend you. I'm glad I did, your reply put a huge smile on my face.
The problem with me is I'm obsessed with trying to find a cure with meds.
I spend ages on the net researching meds/supplements/herbal remadies. I've learnt a fair bit about psychiatry, and often disagree with pdocs decisions. I question the judgments they make which they really don't like.
If I have an appt, I always go with preconceived ideas about what med I want to try and a rehersed argument as to why they should let me give it a trial.
I can't help feel pdocs are incompitant, and that they should have to have had experience of mental illness themselves, before being given their title as pdoc!! I've said that to a few of them which didn't go down a treat.
Saying all this I know believe that I'd be closer to an answer if I'd followed their instructions, continued med trials for sufficient amounts of time,and not played around with doses myself.
You can only draw assumptions about meds if you've given them a steady continuos trial. If you don't, like myself, you might end up having to try the same med a 2nd or 3rd time and going round in circles can be a waste of years.Wish you all the best
Falcon
