> I just got off the phone with my pdoc. I was asking him to prescribe a medication that I thought would greatly help my condition. After the phone call I am feeling so uneasy for having to ask for something. I feel like I'm begging. Like the med is possibly my last hope in ever feeling better and knowing that only he can give it to me. The doctor is a really nice man so I'm not saying anything about him personally. It's just that feeling that I am begging for my life to get a simple med called in is making me feel awful. I'm not even sure what I'm trying to say.
I know just what you mean. There's more of a stigma about psych meds here in the UK so you can often feel like a junkie or something asking a GP - or even a pdoc - for a particular drug.
