If your p-doc isn't working for you, try to find another. I have never seen such hostility to p-docs as I have on this board. My own experience has been great. My p-doc has been supportive and very attentive to side effects. When he has run out of ideas, he consults with other p-docs. Because of severe problems with suicidality, I have been hospitalized several times and the hospital p-docs have also been uniformly helpful and listened to my own concerns about various treatments. They always kept in close touch with my out-patient p-doc. I have never had a bad experience with a p-doc. I haven't always been helped, but I've never encountered one who was arrogant or unwilling to hear me out and try things I might suggest.

So don't give up if you need help. My experience is that most are helpful and want to be of help. That's why they became p-docs in the first place. P-docs make little money compared to other specialties.

Of course, I live in a sizable city with four major medical schools, so there's a lot of people to choose from.
