I think I understand why you feel so negative Jah and I appreciate you sharing the reasons. I, too, suffer from bipolar 1 and panic disorders, but trauma from child abuse which unfortunately has no medication to help. My therp and pdoc talk weekly and my therp has never given her opinion either way when it comes to meds. (Even though that's a pretty hot topic in the U.S. now- giving psychologists the right to prescribe meds). My pdoc also does therapy, so we're talking a minimum of 2 hrs/wk here, but again I benefit greatly. I want to add that I went through 15 psychiatrists before I was able to find one who genuinely cares about me getting better and is willing to listen to my therapist's opinions. There are no ego games here, I must be one of the fortunate few. Anyway, stopped Duragesic, and take Actiq when I have to- the world's greatest lollipop. Hope you both feel better for the holidays- judy
