phillipa addiction docs are .... there hard to work with but it depends on how their approched...one time my doc said i look good with the meds I was on and didnt change them, you know what I did was checked into a psych ward in fort worth, for 2 reasons...one the meds where not working and my doctor was being stubborn, also because I thought the devil was trying to possess my body, which I still to this day don't know why.
After that...she realized that I have some conditions that she didnt even aknowedged in the session previous to this. You have to make them realize there is a problem that needs to be taken care of...some people will just go in and say simple problems, no sense of urgency and some doctors view that patients look fine, and will not do anything, exactly what happened with mine in 2010. I don't know what benzos could be switched or dosage increase....you have to think what their thinking on the medications and how they view treatment... getting them to rationalize, like get a clue that they need to increase or switch. Say your having anxiety over and over again that is impairing your daily functions. That should start it off, elaborate.
Keep me updated:)
