> I would be careful when "shopping" for doctors for C-IV medication -- one, there may be a reason why one's current doctor is hesitant (multiple drug combinations), and two, one doesn't want to look like one is seeking controlled substances. Do a little research and present a case for another benzodiazepine.
~~~I agree and my commentary was not based just on this post by this poster. I believe he has posted before of trying to make a case for a change and if I rememer correctly Matt has stated his doc's comment of "You can't be your own doctor" and dismissed further discussion of the subject. I hope I'm remembering this correctly and if not, I do apologize in advance.You are correct, there may be reasons for the doctor's advice and current plan for Matt. I am respectful of the practioner's role, but I think part of that role is to listen to patient's responses and adjust accordingly.
I just wanted to clear up why I would make this suggestion to Matt.
