Doody,
I have been major depressive and Borderline since I was 14 years old. I am on Effexor, Zoloft, Buspar, Torazodone, and abilify. So, I have been through this before, but it doesn't make the bouts any easier to cope with. I am in assertive community treatment. You can read about it at: http://www.actassociation.org/. And, there is only one pdoc for the ACT clients, so I have to see this doctor. I have been in ACT for almost 2 yrs. and they had an even worse one prior to this one, so I am actually for the most part thankful they changed. He did not change a single one of my meds though, just talked to me about why I shouldn't feel the way I do, and it was very invalidating. That is what talk therapy is for. They are supposed to manage medicines, and nothing more. He is a better doctor than the other one, so I am hoping it was just a bad day for him.
