Tyler, I absolutely agree w/ you about the pdoc. I have known a number of people who have worked w/ a GP for years w/o relief. And staying sick for a longer period of time can really derail your life. Because of this I went to a pdoc after an initial appt w/ a GP (needed for a referal). The GP didn't even ask me about any history of mania before rx'ing an SSRI (a big no-no!) Fortunately, it wasn't actually an issue in my case, but it struck me that he didn't even ask the most impt questions!
A (good) pdoc is key. Crissi, here's hoping that you can hook up with one!
Best,
EE> Crissi, please,please let me know if you're going to see a Psychiatrist. I have strong feelings about this as I also saw my reg. Doc when I first became ill-what a miserable waste of time- 2 years. He said I was suffering from nervous exhaustion...he didn't have a clue and he was a very smart man. Feel free to e-mail me at:montami@netzero.net Take care and may God bless you.
