> One thing I've done in the past to reduce the babbling idiot moments and realizing when I get home that I've forgotten a couple of important points was to produce a written summary of my history. I include a listing of all my past pdocs & therapists and a description of my current and past meds. It saves a lot of time and aggravation and pdocs appreciate being able to jump right in without having to transcribe your entire history by hand.
LoL! I took him my spreadsheet, with all my relevant information: meds, s/e's, hospitalizations, etc.
He used it as an example of the benefits of OCD...
;-)
It's something I also recommend people do. It is a pretty good practice -- helps make sure you don't forget something. (I forgot a drug on mine, since I had to make it over after a computer crash.)
Thanks for the advice.
