i wish i could clone my pdoc for all of you what have to put up with the subhumans i've read about far too many times here. here's why.
one of my biggest problems is sleep. it takes clonopin(which i despise taking because of the visual distortions the next morning), serzone which i'm quite happy with except for its dream-recall destruction, benadryl and/or hydroxyzine, both of which do practically nothing due to my quick tolerance development, and a couple different vitamins that seem to help. taking all this would gag a goat, so my doc suggester small dose (25mg) seroquel in addition to a lowered dosage of clonopin. he even TOLD me to do my 'net research where i learned of a potentially fatal side effect-raising of the body temp-caused by all three he wanted me to research-seroquel/zyprexa/risperdal. initially i said no to all 3 but after he allayed my fears about seroquel-it appears to be the safest in small doses, i've decided to try it. he's going to provide me w/samples awa refill my clonopin scrip as i'm out of town starting friday. all this was discussed as he drove home @ 9:00 pm tonight. i wish you all had a doc like him. i'm damn glad i finally found a good one. all this was in returning a phone call i left this afternoon. he gave me no bs about calling at all. that first obese ----- i saw could take a few lessons from this guy. noa-if you're reading this-write to me about recumbents anytime and i'll happily lead you through the maze.
had another small breakthrough the other night-i was dared to enter a flame-war. after laughing my ass off at what this "person" had written to me, i said to my self, "self? is that one twisted mister or what?" to which my self replied, "yep-twisted like a monkey's fist!!" after which said missive ended up in the trash and will forever recieve exactly as much of my time as it deserves-none.
hope you all are well-it's off to coloraddy to find a home-again. wish me luck!!

> pclPaul, good luck to you! Sounds like your pdoc is working out. I too am very happy with my pdoc. He is a very intelligent and very caring. (Plus he is cute.) I have a lot of faith in him, and have been "straight" with him. This is the first time I've ever really felt therapy was helping. I always feel terrified when I go see him, because I don't just feel like I'm telling him what he wants to hear; I'm really changing (although it seems like very small steps, to me). Best wishes in your home hunting!--CIndy W

Yep, a good doc, a REAL good doc, can make a world of difference. Mine too is superb. Mostly in terms of bedside manners, willingness to try anything, and lightening fast response to my phone calls. I feel the same way as you about wishing everyone could see my pdoc.
But now I have a problem. He has been talking retiring for months already. Actually he was supposed to have been done already. It looks like the end of this summer is the definite end. Yikes! At this point he is Head of Psychiatry at two different hospitals in two different states (spends half the week in one and half the week in the other), and is a consultant to various institutions. I was surprised today to find out I am his only private practice client he still sees! But regardless of where he is or what he's doing, he's always right there for me whenever I need him. That to me is how good doctors should be. I'm scared to death I won't find anyone like him. He admits he doesn't know anyone worth recommending. Ohh mannn.

Congratulations, Paul. I do envy you (and everyone else similarly situated), but I guess it was your time. Hopefully my time is coming too. I'm curious as to how you found your new guy ... is he on your insurance list of providers? If so, you'll probably just get the 10-minute med follow-ups, I assume? Thanks.
