So glad to hear I brought a smile to your face, a huge one at that! I also, have in the past, but not often, have shown disagreement with pdocs decisions. I question the judgments they make which they really don't like-really don't like! I try to be as assertive as I can without being agressive if you know what I mean? It's a hoot isn't it?! UUUGHHH
All the best to you, Kristen

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.
