Well, I have a great Pdoc. Infact I called and I'm going to see him tomorrow and talk about what the legality of what is going on.
When I went in the hosp in Oct. last fall, one of my main conserns was THIS! My doctor was worried that I had gotten so depressed, and my meds had stopped working. We had tried a varity of combinations. My doctor very gently suggested that it might be time for a brief stay. The reasoning behind it, was to do a rapid change of my medication. I am so very sensitive to side effects the doctor wanted to get me responding as quickly as possible, in a controlled environment, so I didn't have to creep along so slowly inching up my doses. In that respect it was one of the best decisions I made. The doctor left it entirely up to me as to whether or not to be admitted. He let me leave the office and go home for a few hours and decide, even. We had spoken about the possibility of my XTB using this against me in the Divorce, or to gain custody (or just using this against me, lets just call it what it is, alright??) He said at that time, since I was the one that had been so proactive in my treatment, taking my meds, keeping appointments, evening choosing to self admit to the hospital that these things show maturity and consern. He also said that on his testimony alone, that he could almost gaurentee that I wouldn't lose my baby. I just hope he is right. The truth is I trust him SO much more than I do my lawyer. I really have conserns about that, but I don't have the money to change attorneys, I've had to borrow money to retain THIS one. This sucks.
