[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 255499, member: 6705"] You could be describing a conversation with my difficult child 1. I agree with Terry that if the psychiatrist is not willing to work with you and difficult child that there might be reason to look for a second opinion. Now I know the psychiatrist may have all the history but sometimes a fresh pair of eyes (ears, brains, etc.) can make all the difference. Also... Many insurance companies require a second opinion before "major" surgery - when I was a child & had my tonsils out Mom had to do this, take me to someone new for the second opinion. In some cases this is a really good thing. You wouldn't want surgery for a cancerous tumor that turned out to be constipation. There's also the frustration factor... Even professionals get to a point where they are so frustrated they can't think straight. Is this something that just cropped up? 'Cause maybe that's it. Or, maybe you just need an altogether new one. (((HUGS))) I do understand... Had to change difficult child 2's pediatrician for similar reasons... [/QUOTE]
