Thanks Cactus. No blood tests at all. And it was the psychiatrist, not the GP. You know how they transfer over the report about your progress and whats wrong with you to the referring GP.

My GP is really good I love her. She showed me the records, i havent made copies but she has given me copies from previous psychiatrists in the past.

I really think I will do that about contacting the psychiatrist. Thanks for that. Its a great idea.

Whats worse is that my dad's friend who is a doctor is another person he forwarded my records too. This other GP I had been seeing because my regular GP is so booked out all the time I couldnt get an appointment. And I really do not like the other GP I have seen in the past, only go to him in desperation and god knows why I let him have my psych records :( I guess because he was always demanding them, saying he couldnt treat me properly without them.

Now before I say this, I am not saying anything bad about anyone that is religious but this guy is a religious freak. He has crosses all over the waiting room, and religious statues (same in the surgery). In the waiting room there is a variety of bibles you can read instead of magazines (I am serious). Though, last time I was there he had some magazines. The radio is set on some Christian station and the receptionist spends all her time highlighting parts of the bible (she usually has several bibles open on her desk at once going back and forth to each one). It is really REALLY weird. God, if he knew I was gay I think he would go crazy. Thats probably also on my records lol ok I guess he knows now.

I dont think I want to see another psychiatrist, ever again If I can help it. They seem to just over-medicate me or treat me like crap.

I hope I'll be ok on just lithium. Seem to be doing well though.

Take care


> Go and ask that doctor, who wrote up that diagnosis and what bought him to that conclusion. Did he do a blood test to check for drugs in your system? Or was he just another one of those useless GP that come across mentally ill people and think that they are drug addicts? He cannot make those assumptions without medical proof like a blood or urine sample. It's totally unethical. If he did do that and you had been taking cold and flu tablets or sudafed it would have produced a positive result unfortunately. Good luck mate. I'm an aussie too. I wonder if you can go and demand your medical records from the GP and find a new psych.
