Yeah I tried the honour thing already. Maybe I'll just let time work its magic. Changing doctors is not an option. There are about 25 pdoc in my (bureaucratic) sector and most of them are much worse. I know, I've met them.
There's one I hate particularly. I used to think maybe I had ADD (still not sure I don't). So the first thing I told him when I first saw him was: "I thight I might have ADD". He replied, very condescendingly, "ADD is something little kids have" dismissed the issue altoghether and then proceeded to make me talk about my mother and seemed intent on making me cry. I am not changing doctors, no way. My current pdoc is more of a scientist but he's very cautious. I think once he's certain I am stable he might reconsider. But the Parnate would be for SP. I am not suicidal. I think maybe he considers that Parnate is not worth the trouble for such a mild condition (mild meaning awful but not life-threatenning).> else... you might mention to your pdoc that the parnate alleviated your suicidal impulses...( i'm assuming, of course & that's dangerous i know) that this was true for you, yes?

He may reconsider enventually. I guess I did not express myself clearly. My doctor is actually pretty nice and fairly open to my ideas. He just doesn't want me to kill myself with pills he has prescribed. I suppose I can't blame him but I am recovered to a large extent. I"m very stuborn. I always get my way even if it takes years. Plus the Parnate would be for SP (more effective than anything else I've tried) rather than for depression although it wouldn't hurt.
