Hey C10
Yes good doctors, as in all professions are hard to find, I'm afraid you just have to keep looking until you get one, then don't let go!
It took me a while but mine is fabulous and I've had her for for four years now,
Therapists, counsellors etc I've had many but I'm seeing a great counsellor now who truly understands what I'm going through and I am improving every week.
Stay positive and just keep going :) you will find one who understands I'm sure of it :) don't give up !

I have had so many horrible psychiatrists, it's a nightmare. It takes a while to find the right one and one thing I have found is to advocate for yourself. For me, I am the one who makes the medication suggestions and whether I feel I need an increase or a decrease in the medication. I advocate for myself about it. If your doctor doesn't give an alternative, research yourself and find one to offer as a suggestion. I've had to do this dozens of times. Now, I go in and tell the doctor my ideas about medications to try and things like that. Some of them hate it, but they won't do their job otherwise. I do extensive research on medications as well to back myself up.

That is exactly what I am going through now! Being treated like every other patient instead of being treated as me & for what I'VE been through.

Alot of MD tend to be apprehensive about benzo..while my Psychiatrist isn't my fav..he did increase my benzos when my primary wouldn't. ..
