Wow Dinah, I remember that discussion very well. It was very helpful to me, and I remember your cocker spaniel analogy :) Since then I have come to cobble a treatment plan, too. It can take time and observation to find one's proper treatment. I think of the years I spent being treated by medication, in my case SSRI's and SNRI's, that in hindsight worsened my condition or created extra symptoms that distracted from the primary symptoms I originally sought to treat.
I also remember the pdoc prior to my current one. If I didn't
respond to 50 Pristiq, there was the dreaded jump to 100 until I wound up in his office wringing my hands, begging for the trial to be aborted. The same with Cymbalta. Strattera was a nightmare. After that I put my foot down. But you might have thought that doctor might have used his own powers of observation....
