Thank you to all those you posted. Thank you bleauberry for giving me a real straight forward reality check of the sleep situation man, a good dose of reality is what I needed to give me more motivation to lose this dr. For the record I did go again today and spill my bloody guts out to him like the pdoc I had once while a university student and it made no difference...

what a prick:

"doc please look at me im exhausted"

we talk for about 10 mins. I feel as if he's listening and I open up more and discuss my past drug and alcohol addictions as a self medication attempt for anxiety...he looks genuinely concerned, listens...please I'm tired, knock me out any way you want. traz isnt working, heres a sheet on hypnotics...

"look you're overreacting. we dont want to add more 'drugs'. go home and rest"

"what? excuse me? i just spent the last 10 mins spillin my guts to you and basically begging you to let me sleep...how am i supposed to rest when I cant sleep. 1h sleep last night, man come on"

half a smile..."then go home and just sit there"

WTF!!! serious

"oh by the way.."

my little tough my finger walk on your heels then tiptoes etc indicates I have this subtle (unnoticeable to me unless pointed out) shake or tremor as he called it.

"did you know you have a tremor?"

"huh? is that bad?"

"oh its a side effect of the med"

"are you sure its not because im seriously exhausted?"

"youre overreacting myco."

LOL ugh

"listen ok, can you refer me to a pdoc please, i have no health insurance but i really need to settle this up and continue getting better?"

"if you go to a phyciatrist myco you will only end up taking more 'DRUGS'"

LOL ugh

*mumbles* *ssh*l*!

so i'm done with him now. away I go on my neverending quest deep into the semi disfunctional world of canadian socialized medicine looking for that understanding gp.

apparently here you can 'self refer' to a pdoc


bleauberry....you mentioned apathy as a possible or common problem with seratonin (although for you dopamine). Is there anything I can do about that? I dont know if I actually need much seratonin...my issue is anxiety predominantly...think 75mg nardil can be lowered to 60 then with augmentation I could potentiate nardil response to give it a so needed kick back into working better like it used to?

this useless gp is also open to me changing to parnate LOL just dont ask for a sleep med with that parnate...god help me if I change under him.

thnx

the former happy and smilin myco
