> sorry, but your post made me laugh. Its not funny (only in a dark-humor sort of way) but the way you described him gave me this clear picture of a fumbling, idiotic and clueless doctor. It was more of a bitter laugh actually. It reminds me of my pdoc too, consulting his PDR for everything. And making up the rest.

> No, you don't expect too much. But If that means wanting a pdoc with more knowledge than you have, then yes maybe, you do want too much. Because it seems like that is a rare animal. So here we all are doing the research, which is actually the pdocs job. This is their darn field- they should really know their stuff. Its just shameless.

> Dno, the humor was intentional :) it's strange - he's probably the most overall compassionate pdoc i've had, but also the least competent... and when i say compassionate, i guess towards the fact that i suffer from OCD, which he seems to want to abolish at all costs. it's funny hearing them fumbling for explanations - one told me SSRI's should enhance my creativity, yada yada. the best pdoc i had was also the biggest ***hole, but i wish i'd stuck with him, because he was open to trying anything.
anyway, maybe Geodon is not really used where i live (outside of the US). i'm going for a second opinion with a psychiatrist who specialises in ADHD next week. my hope is that he might have more concern with executive function, etc. i've made up a detailed history of my med-use and reaction to each drug.
hope you're doing okay with Parnate withdrawal. i'm 4 days into the 2-week washout. i was using Seroquel to cover up the anxiety, which worked, but i didn't want additional withdrawal, so stopped, and it's really starting to hit me. i'm a teary, dysfunctional, foggy mess :(
