))>sheesh<(( i've been finding out more and more that i can trust this board better than the ???s/ answers that were answered by my last pdoc or the "patient information" handouts.
i really appreciate the genuine answers and generous intelligent information given here. Another thing i notice is how _educated_ most people here are about their medications.(It seems to me to be the way any intelligent person might respond to being asked to take a chemical(s)).How does anyone discuss this with their pdocs? Or DOES anyone? My last pdoc gave me the feeling -erhm, it seemed to me- that when i wanted to discuss what i'd learned about any meds indepth, or asked her to talk about a particular alternative, that it was UNWELCOMED, and i was met with resistance or suspicion. Especially regarding Adderall or anti-anxiety medications. Yes, i understand the possible abuser implications, but how does one raise the level of intelligence or specifics with a pdoc beyond that? Answers being "dumbed down" or not at all were frustrating for me.
i'd also be very grateful if a pdoc or practitioner would reply, from the other side of the couch, too...?
Thanx again in advance,
Escher
