I saw my psychiatrist today and he just acted like an as. I brought up lowering the lower dose and he said that was like never happening. The last time I spoke to him he actually asked me how long I wanted to stay on this dose and I said until march because then I've been on the medication for 2 years, and he didn't argue back about it. He goes back and forth like this all the time. The nurse who gave me the medication kept laughing and making jokes about the psychiatrist and it's not the first time that's happened lol. He doesn't get along well with the people he work with either. They think he's weird too. I'm thinking about getting a new psychiatrist if this continues.
Good for you that you feel like your medication works and helps you. I wish I felt like that as well. I think that if I was just depressed and I had to take antidepressants I would feel like the medication worked and helped me. It's different dealing with psychosis and having to take medication that lowers your mood instead. It just doesn't make sense.

It's for the best and for the safety of you and others.
I wasn't a danger to myself and others for like 15 years, so I'm not really a danger to myself and others.

You're calmer and less combative today. This IS a good thing.
How do you know that though.? I just started posting.

Very sorry you have to deal with this guy. Sounds like he’s not really listening to you. Probably a good idea to start looking now so you can go forward with a new person if you still feel he’s not working for you. I don’t know anything about psychosis, but it sounds that you are doing your best to manage it.
With ADHD, it’s either a neurologist or a psychiatrist who help manage it. But you can’t find any psychiatrists who take new patients here unless it’s an emergency. But this neurologist I have is very good and ADHD is their specialty. -

Yes, he's not really listening to anyone, not even the people he works with lol. The other option is a woman around my age. I'll see how the next appointment goes and then I will make a decision about it later on.
