MGlenn: It's a small world on the world wide web, I live in Irmo! I do not know if I can be of much help, but my GP is in Lexington. I do not have a pdoc since I tried one for two visits during which he felt it necessary to stretch his vocabulary by using the "f" word in casual conversaton. I origionally went to him as a referral from an Internist for a ADD dx. I dropped them both and ended up with the doc in Lex and have been there for 2 years. He is very conservative, and I had to develop a trusting and working relationship. He has me on Parnate and lithium. He is very leary of writing maoi's because of the side effect profile, but taken properly by a healthy individual, they can prove to be highly beneficial.
JohnL has some excellent comments on flushing out a doc to help with your needs, probably quicker than what I had to do. I'd listen to what he has to say and would check out Richland to see what they may have to offer. One word of advice, do your homework before you go in so they know you are somewhat educated in locating someone to work with you. Keep us up to date on your progress and many Blessings,
