Meet my knew Pdoc for the first time and was happy with the out come.

He seems like a very intelligent, well rounded, down to earth doctor, what a refreshing change LOL.

So here's the update: my meds change from
triliptal 600mgs (stayed the same)
Abilify - from 10 mgs to 15 mgs
Clonopin- from .5 mg 2x a day to 1 mg 2x a day

Good to hear.

I always felt like I was smarter than most of the Dr's I've known...meeting my Pdoc for the first time, I felt like we were on equal footing...and he respected my judgement calls on different meds.

Glad to hear things went so well

A good Pdoc who really knows his or her stuff can make a world of difference!!!

I found the Doc really receptive to listening to my views and concerns, also it was nice to sit down with a man who treats you as a client rather than a patient.

It's only the second time in my life I found a Pdoc that has talked across a table to me instead of down to me. Didn't once feel like I had to prove I Did have a brain to him!!!
