My pdoc works hard. I try to treat her right. I don’t want to lose her. I have only had a couple of bad quack doctors in the past and that’s good because I’ve had maybe a hundred pdocs. It’s funny, that sounds like an exaggeration but it’s not. I have had doctors laugh at me a lot but it could be I’m just funny.

I hated my previous psychiatrist, and they retired thankfully. My new psychiatrist isn’t good or bad really.
I like my psychiatrists.
I’ve heard of people becoming psychiatrists who have schizophrenia. And I’ve heard of people getting schizophrenia after becoming psychiatrists.
I dont like mine. He is to conservative with meds. Ive been complaining about debilitating anxiety for 4 months now and he just puts me on the bare minimum
I don’t have a psychiatrist anymore I just see regular doctor to get meds

I liked my previous pdoc but ive been told she probably wasnt medicating me properly. I see a new one in a week
I have a psychiatric nurse practitioner I’ve been seeing since the end of December and I love her.
I was zooming toward a breakdown all last year, which blew up in early February 2022. Denise has been helping me climb out of that. Still working on med adjustments but I’m getting there. The meds are set, now I am just working on the right doses. Lamictal is slow going since you can only go up 50 mg every two weeks but I should be done in two more steps.
I was initially hesitant to not see a pdoc, but I couldn’t ask for someone better or more dedicated.
My psychiatrist is really friendly. She listens to what I say. She’s great
I just got a new one. He’s a resident. No opinion yet.
Yes I like my current psychiatrist very much.
She’s a seasoned professional who is kind and respects me.
I like my psychiatrist. She is professional and listens to what I say. We talk on the phone for 15 minutes. So, not long. It’s nice.
Same for me.

I love my current one, i had some bad experience with a few. But now, im very satisfied with my Pdoc.
I’m glad you treat her right! I do hope they weren’t laughing at you but with you, maybe it could be some paranoia.

My pdoc is ok, but I have mixed feelings about him
He put me on a wonderful med mirtazapine
But wants to take me off my mood stabiliser when it’s clear my sza is bipolar type. Also he said once when I asked him am I psychotic that I’m not (???)
My old pdoc met me in youth custody when I was 16/17 in 2004 and got me released back to hospital
We parted ways for years, then he took my case back up in 2015 before he retired in 2019
The service he did for me was really good, and I appreciated it.
Since he left I don’t feel listened too at all, hence the frequent ranting posts I make about the MH services at times
oh he’s fine. we’ve never met in person though. he’s fine on the phone. i was in times past very angry and distrustful of psychiatry because i’d had absolute faith in my first doctor who betrayed me and turned out to just be a big jerk secretly. so i took it out on a few doctors at times.

My pdoc is a clown. Doesn’t want to make med changes, doesn’t check my chart before I see him so he doesn’t remember my case when I go in, very unprofessional. Only reason I’m still with him is coz he’s the one provided by my ACT team. Feh.
I really don’t know my psychiatrist by name because I only talk to her once a year. I quit cold turkey from Geodon and Seroquel one month ago. I got terribly insomnia from that so I got admitted to the psychiatric hospital one week ago. In that week the very exelent and one of the brightest psychiatrists I’ve ever met who’s name is Christian found out that I needed 300 mg Seroquel. I’ve slept every night ever since and my mini psychosis is beginning to vanish.
And now one week later I’m back home.
And thank God without rat poison ( 160 mgs.Zeldox,Ziprasidone,Geodon)
