In reply to Questions to ask when interviewing new PDOC, posted by jitterbug on June 4, 2007, at 18:28:23
I would let the psychiatrist know what has worked for you, both biochemically and procedurally (starting on a low dose, avoiding certain side effects, not wanting to take too many things at once, wanting to try anything that works, etc.). I would also explain how you got to the regiminen that works for you now and ask him if he would have any trouble working with you in this way.
Good luck,

> I have Panic Disorder, OCD, and night terrors.
> I take 15 MG of Valium daily (5 1/2 in the AM and 5 1/2 in the PM) along with my antidepressant. I'm stable, feel good, and no longer have night terrors (which were AWFUL I might add.)

> What kind of questions should I ask when trying to establish a relationship with a new pdoc? The last thing I need is to be de-stabalized when I move to a new country (completely different environment, stress etc.) This combo WORKS for me. Anyone who has been through this please post your suggestions. Thanks.
