One of my Pdocs gave up on me, after I wasn't responding to Different combos of SSRI/SNRI's. I asked for MAOI's and he told me he didn't think I was that depressed. I laughed, then asked how could he possibly know how I feel. He tried giving me some stupid lecture on how in his 40 years of being a shrink, he's seen them all. I laughed again, said our session was over and never went back.

When a doctor gives up on a patient, the patient needs to find another doctor. You go research the next doctor you seek (as I did) and I finally found a great one.

There is no one size fits all with mental issues. You're throwing 1 med at the patient, maybe a combo of 2 or 3, and waiting to see how they respond. If you had access to the meds you could do that yourself. My new Pdoc hasn't told me anything that I didn't already know about the meds I have taken or look to take.

I'm just ranting, now... lol

If they give up on you, give up on them and find another doctor.
