I hope things improve, maybe the thought of going to seeing another doctor can give you a bit of hope. Id definately see if you can get into your dads one. How long have you been on the meds for? I know they take a while which is really frustrating.

Hi if you are having no luck with your dr, try asking around and try and find out if you have a dr in your area which is understanding with mental health issues, they vary so much. Things might improve if you can find a good one.x

I guess they are just waiting to see if your new meds work. I can understand how horrible it must be. I know many people who have had to try a load of different types just to get the right one. Dont give up tho, im sure if you can see a new doc he might be able to assess you better. I agree with dizzycow too.. my doc is a mental health doctor so he specialises in it... better than a regular gp i guess.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
