[QUOTE="StressedM0mma, post: 598535, member: 13204"] We are considering looking at a new psychiatrist. I am sure all of you know how hard it is to find new psychiatrists and not have to wait 6+ months to get an appointment. But, I am definitely not happy with the care we are receiving. psychiatrist would not consider cutting back on celexa because she hasn't been "stable" long enough. Um, the reason is because you kept upping her dose of Zoloft when we kept telling you it wasn't working for her. And, that led her down a horrid spiral that we are still digging out of. And, when difficult child told psychiatrist that the Concerta wasn't really working to help her focus, instead of talking to her about it, psychiatrist just upped the dose. Then the psychiatrist got angry that difficult child didn't tell her that she wanted to quit taking it. Um, you know one of difficult child's problems is speaking for herself. And, maybe instead of just jumping on the give her more medications you actually discuss with her the options she has! difficult child has been very good about voicing her concerns with taking all of these medications. She has researched them, and worries about what her longterm health will be. And, if her tdocs feel she is in a good place to do this, and I think so , why would the psychiatrist have any reason to disagree. The psychiatrist sees her every 6-8 weeks! Basically long enough to give her medications and ask how difficult child is doing. [/QUOTE]
