1. They have little knowlege on them, due to their psychiatric residencies focusing almost exclusively on newer drug.
2. They stupidly believe them to be REALLY dangerous - even though the first year Parnate was released 7 people died out of 2 million (a figure to that effect - I have exact figure at home it is as crazy as this -- and at this time they hardly knew about the restrictions!)
3. They have been bamboozled into thinking new=better which i believe=bullshit.
4. They are too lazy to get a list of contraindicated foods and meds and do 6monthly lab tests for MAOI safety
5. Most Pdocs are scum. They want the POWER. Well, after years of seeing them 2 out of about 12 were wonderful. The rest I seen were ilbalanced, dishonest, negligent, or rude. And to the end of my experience with them, I told one to watch his behaviour, and that I disagree with his thoughts on SSRIs. This is why he called me an unusual man. What a cock!
I now see a GP, he doesn't ask me stupid ass questions like "what thoughts are there" or give me stupid ass advice- 'put the thoughts in a special corner in your mind- make this the bad corner you need not got to until you a ready" - HA HA!!!! What a friggin' joke. My bad corner is full of all the shitty Pdocs I've seen!
My GP gives the drug I deem best and realises I study psychopharmacology. He has no power over me. He is a lovely man, and has helped me more than any Pdoc.
However, This is all my experience. People have to do what is right for them. I am just sharing a part of myself, cause that is what life is about.But I tell you- ALL OF YOU - you are just as good as anybody else. Don't let them have power over you. Take the reign with your treatment - research, experiement, talk. Do ANYTHING to survive.
I had a friend who recently died, who was told she was 'stupid and childish' by a pdoc for crying in pain. If I ever saw this guy I'd kick is has in right away. Unfortunately, this exemplifies the behaviour of a lot of theses scumbags. She was a extremely vunrable (sp?) young girl, very scared and in pain. He took advantage and threw his anger on me. I bet if a 6 foot 4 guy who was pro-active in his treatment plan wouldn't be called such a thing.
Give me your thoughts on this guys...I really hope I didn't offend anyone, but I have to speak from my heart. If I offended you, speak from YOUR heart and tell me I'm a turkey with crap for brains!
Love to all, brave ones,Ace, (Andrew)
