as an adjunct to this earlier thread about conduct around psychiatrists (http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20100425/msgs/945375.html), i was likewise wondering if its always a good idea to disclose the extent of your med history?
mine is long, especially for my age (24), which eventually caused some psychs to start turning me down and recommending psychotherapy instead. i was angry at the time, but it turned out to be a good idea because i really was 'addicted' to trying medication and had no sense of what i was trying to achieve from life.
after being in therapy for the past year, i now feel a lot more prepared to try medication again .. but i mean ive pretty much tried everything in the SSRI class (except Zoloft), effexor, both irreversible MAOIs, Moclobemide, nortriptyline, ritalin/dexamphetamine, and memantine, though some of the trials definitely weren't conducted fairly on my part.
