Rakken & Houston-- I don't remember if we asked him about benzos last time, but I have a drug history (not what I would call severe; nothing severe like heroin or coke, but I did start young, like 10 (did acid at 12-13) so I don't know if I'll ever get them. I do kind of feel like I'm being jerked around. He may have all the time and patience in the world to try every possible combination of SSRI's etc. but I'm living with the results, or lack there of. He doesn't seem like a bad pdoc, but he doesn't seem too enthusiastic about me, or open minded. My last/first pdoc dxd depression/anxiety and was like we have so many meds to try! you'll be better in no time flat. This one said, BPII is the hardest psychiatric illness to treat and gave me a look that seemed like he was as hopeless as I was. That's about how this last therapist was too (who reccomended the pdoc). AH rambling! Sorry. Anyway, I'm going to see him a few (1-3) more times and see how it goes. I'll try to write down everything I'm feeling on the meds, but I always forget the notebook. Thanks for the info on the effectiveness of SSRI's and the liver thing (whew).
Thanks U2. U both helped just by listening to (reading) my ramblings and replying :)
