Hi Ed!
How did you manage to get a new psychiatrist?...and was this a Consultant psychiatrist you saw?
I'm just curious as i've found in general that the junior doctors working under the consultants seem to know so little with regards to medications etc.. and that they seem to say the most stupid things, which for me quite often I found annoying..when I was taking cipramil and said I didnt like the side effects a couple of years back, his reply was
"Hmm..think of yourself as a diabetic who needs their insulin"..hmm so doctor, you've measured my serotoin levels have you and seen that they need to be topped up with cipramil and now their all fine??..LOL, i didnt say but so wish I would have...I try to make sure I always see the consultant as they seem to have more authority if you want to try a new med for example. Whereas the under-dogs always have to go and ask the consultant lol its like they have to gets his permission first... Have you ever come across that?
Kind regards
Nick
