Thanks for your words. I did speak to the pdoc through my case worker and apparently the pdoc says she has never heard of these symptoms before and to just take the full 300mg at bedtime. Brilliant! She is a genius though isn't she? So I get no explanation of my symptoms and am just told to "tough it out" basically? Plus, my case worker said if I needed to speak to the pdoc any time between now and my appt on the 9th of July then I will have to start coming to outpatient everyday to speak to the psychiatrists there. It just doesn't make sense. I am having a bad reaction to a med and they want to make me pay for outpatient to see a psychiatrist? I wish I would win the lotto or something so I could go to private mental health care. Instead I am stuck with semi-private through the area I live in.
I am so fed up I could just spit. To have my symptoms disregarded because the doctor doesn't think they are in the literature is ridiculous and made even more ridiculous by the fact that I FOUND them in the literature! Why do I bother to keep fighting when no one is helping me and just putting me down further? There is a serious problem in psychiatry these days. It is an age of barbarism and profits before people.
