> I've often wondered if my pdoc really knew what she was doing. We seem to focus so much on therapy that we never even discuss meds. Maybe I should ask for her rational for the meds I'm on. I've asked about the two SSRI thing online and so far most places have said it isn't useful to be on two SSRIs.
Yeah, I've wondered about the two SSRIs. If she focuses mostly on therapy, she may not be as skilled with use of medication - it's hard to do it all. As someone else suggested, you might start by asking at the hospital if they know of anyone. Your pdoc might know someone. You can do some creative googling.

It's not as much as you think. It simply means a psychiatrist who specializes in psych medications.
> What medication helped you emme?
Well, Abilify for one. Effexor helped motivation, but I did not tolerate the drug well (YMMV of course). Provigil helped motivation quite a lot, but it annoyed me by making me feel overstimulated sometimes. But many people swear by Provigil.
