Are you still seeing Dr. Hutto regularly? What do you think of him? He is starting to scare me. I hope he isn't a quack! Everyone (including my psychologist, who referred me to him, and my former psychiatrist) thinks that he is god's gift to psychiatry but I'm not convinced.
I'm not having rTMS treatments, I just see Dr. Hutto for my routine psychiatric care (his office happens to be on my way home from work). I've been seeing him for 5 months, and I've done nothing but get even more depressed. Each time I see him, he ups the dosages of everything, or "augments". Currently, he has me taking:
Trileptal 1800mg
Lamictal 200mg
Remeron 60mg
Cymbalta 120mg
Wellbutrin 600mg
Trazodone 150mg
Cytomel 50mcg (just for AD augmentation, thyroid is normal)
Valium 5-10mg prnIf he wants to go up on one more thing or add one more drug, I'm walking. He really has me questioning him now, but everyone says he's so great, so maybe it's just me. All I know is that if I were my own psychiatrist, I would throw out all of those AD's and try for one that works.
Sorry for venting! I would just like one more person's opinion, so I don't think I'm crazy.
Peace,
BGB =)
