> I only meant that there were different types of emotional pain, with different sorts of treatments. And that being told you aren't depressed isn't the same as being told you aren't in pain. Now, if he told you there was nothing wrong with you, that would be different.
>Dinah, I don't know of he has anything
against meds as needed. When I had an
adverse reaction to abilify, he and we became wary of AP's (had bad reaction to seroquel, too). I've brought up risperdal as needed, saphris he mused about out loud, but still scripts me for xanax, then worries (outloud, again) about long term effect. Tuesday out the door I said I need a go-to medicine since
xanax doesn't seem to pull it's weight at it's old dose. He then pondered upping my dose, but that seems like really nurturing potential trouble. It's like he cannot decide. And yet, weeks upon weeks of my life go by.
> What does your pdoc have against as
needed meds?Oh, and about your first comment,
I thought you might have a miracle answer like,"...there's two types of people and You dear are this type and therefore have you considered....?"But life couldn't be that simple :P
Though I (most likely mistakenly) took him to mean there wasn't anything wrong with me I couldn't fix if I stopped trying different meds. Like it's a new hobby :(
