My ex-pdoc saw me for 10 minutes every other month or so. How can any pdoc know what meds a patient needs in that amount of time? IMHO, he can't ... only a pdoc who has spent TIME listening and conversing with a patient can correctly identify the problems of the patient in order to prescribe the proper meds for that individual.
Snowie,
I agree 100%. But my insurance company won't pay for me to see a Pdoc for therapy, only medication management. Then they pay my psychologist for therapy. The insurance company thinks they're saving money. And I sure couldn't pay it on my own.I don't know why the insurance company can't understand that having one person do both would probably help me get better more quickly. Instead I keep slogging through therapy and getting no where, and slogging through different medications which don't work.
