[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 359746, member: 1963"] I've had this happen and I worry about changing psychiatrists--mine is currently via telemedicine out of FL (he closed his practice up here). I cannot take atypical APs. I've taken three of them and all of them partially paralyze my swallowing reflexes. I take Haldol instead and it works well for me. BUT...it's not commonly prescribed anymore due to risk of long-term side effects. I have had a couple of weird ER experiences with medications. One was when I broke my tailbone and told the doctor that I couldn't take codeine or darvocet because both of them left me with my head in the toilet continuously. He wasn't happpy writing a RX for Vidodin even though Darvocet is more likely to have side effects and is extremely addictive. The other one was when I went in with a serious bladder infection. I announced that I'd had several of them in the past, detailed my sx graphically...he just asked what had worked for me in the past and I asked for some sulfa tablets and some of those pills that turn your pee orange and get rid of the burning. He OFFERED me an rx for narcotics, which were totally unnecessary. THe little magic orange pills clear up the pain with one or two doses and of course, you take the sulfa for ten days no matter if you are feeling well sooner or not. I got that little lecture, smiled and nodded and toddled off to the pharmacy [/QUOTE]
