> sorry, but your post made me laugh. Its not funny (only in a dark-humor sort of way) but the way you described him gave me this clear picture of a fumbling, idiotic and clueless doctor. It was more of a bitter laugh actually. It reminds me of my pdoc too, consulting his PDR for everything. And making up the rest.

So here we all are doing the research, which is actually the pdocs job. This is their darn field- they should really know their stuff. Its just shameless.

no, the humor was intentional :) it's strange - he's probably the most overall compassionate pdoc i've had, but also the least competent... and when i say compassionate, i guess towards the fact that i suffer from OCD, which he seems to want to abolish at all costs. it's funny hearing them fumbling for explanations - one told me SSRI's should enhance my creativity, yada yada. the best pdoc i had was also the biggest ***hole, but i wish i'd stuck with him, because he was open to trying anything.

anyway, maybe Geodon is not really used where i live (outside of the US). i'm going for a second opinion with a psychiatrist who specialises in ADHD next week. my hope is that he might have more concern with executive function, etc. i've made up a detailed history of my med-use and reaction to each drug.

hope you're doing okay with Parnate withdrawal. i'm 4 days into the 2-week washout. i was using Seroquel to cover up the anxiety, which worked, but i didn't want additional withdrawal, so stopped, and it's really starting to hit me. i'm a teary, dysfunctional, foggy mess :(
