As I have already posted, I am starting again with my old pdoc. What keeps you happy with yours?
My pdocs only see me 4-5 minutes so i dont feel anything about them.
I love my pdoc. She’s not only knowledgeable, but very caring.
I think I get 1/2 hour. My last one was an hour for about 500 charged to insurance.
How is she knowledgable?
He lets me control to a certain amount what meds I take and dosages,we work as a team. Also he’s a faith filled Christian so if I want to bring up God he won’t automatically increase my meds.

This is the same guy that tried my on many drugs, I found One that worked from someone on this forum. I am a little scared how he will see that drug.
MIne worked with me on the meds to find a good combo for me to not hear voices and see things plus he is taking all the pills that cause big weight gain away with me doing so good.

Glad to hear that. So positive.
She has been spot on with her diagnosis and the course of treatment.
I am starting to like my pdoc because she agreed to decrease the dosage of my medication. That made me happy. However, as I was talking to her I noticed that she talks oddly, the way she connects sentences. It could be because she is an immigrant but I also thought what if she also has schizophrenia? Anyone thinks their pdoc might have sz also?
Funny. My old/ new pdoc has a condition where he squints real hard. Like a seizure. But I was to scared years ago to ask him about it. Not sure if I will this time… Not sure I want to know .
She gives me my drugs that keep my head straight.
ive never seen my pdoc i always see p nurses xx
I liked my pdoc in the beginning.
I really don’t like the fact that she is siding with my abusive father.
When I told her that I was doing well without an antipsychotic, she was discouraging and treated me like a basket case.
