Same experience with my PDOC, she frustrated e this morning... to her all SSRIs are the same, and newwer is better.
> OK. Everyone has their breaking point, and I have reached mine. I am really pissed off. After wasting another $125 this afternoon on a 45 minute session, all of which was spent in a fruitless attempt to educate my 'doctor' in modern medicine so that I could obtain 'permission' (a prescription) to switch to a different combination of medications, I left the office empty-handed. "We can discuss it next time." Is there some secret, special list of docs which those of us whom already are well-educated in modern medicine can use to just pay for the damn 'script without having to qualify our rationale to someone whom in all probability isn't capable of comprehending it in the first place? I'm talking about non-scheduled substances, here.
