Willy,
All I know, is that after my non-success in the past few months, it really hurt when I, in a vulnerable moment, asked my husband if he still wanted to have kids with me. He said he didn't know. I felt very angry and betrayed by doctors in general. No doubt that I needed medicine, but the screw ups in my medication has now put doubt into my husband's mind about my ability to be a mother. That really hurts. Probably in a similar way to how it bothers you when hospitals and pharmacists are looking at you like you're a junkie when you tell them you need a drug.
I sometimes wonder if the real motive behind all these drugs was to help us or make "them" money. They're getting rich and I'm more dependent than ever. Is the dependency just a necessary evil, or the real purpose of the medication? I suppose I will never know.
And I concur, it's ridiculous to think that a pdoc could possibly get a good brain profile in 20 minutes. I hate my medical insurance, because it's one of those all inclusive in-house ones, where I can only see their doctors (Kaiser). I wish we'd go back to Blue Cross so I can choose an effective doctor instead of the one that I'm stuck with through the insurance I have. I have zero confidence in my pdoc at Kaiser, and I feel powerless to switch.
I'm rambling. I don't even know if what I'm writing has anything to do with the original post. I'm just going to stop now. :-\
