In reply to Its over for me--Psychiatrist prescribed trilepal, posted by linkadge on June 10, 2004, at 15:23:07
Linkadge, I kind of agree with you and totally understand your anger. Is there any reason that he won't prescribe lamictal? I mean, tegretol and trileptal are really, really close!!!
Is this the same guy that you mentioned to me some time ago wouldn't ever prescribe you selegeline?
If you were to respond well to lamictal, you might even be able to take only it, for its AD properties as well as "mood stablization".
I hate that all of this is such an art and so little a "science"...
Anyway, sounds as if you have lost all respect for this dude. If that's the case, yeah, it's over for you.....
But I would caution you to examine your feelings about the whole thing. Be brutally honest and then move on from there. That is, regarding your feelings about the shrink himself....will you feel this way about all shrinks that don't agree with you?
But trileptal......I don't think so....
