[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 65129, member: 2894"] I had asked him if he had gotten the discharge diagnosis from the psychiatric hospital (since I know the psychiatric hospital had been communicating with him according to the SW at the psychiatric hospital at the time) and I assumed this was what he was probably somewhat basing his medications off of...he said he had not gotten anything and had me sign a release for him to try to get the discharge paperwork. I really don't think psychiatrist HAS a diagnosis for M...he barely knows M...I think he's just taking what symptoms/behaviors I share with him and tweaking the medications according to that. All he has is the general history he took while M was raging in his office during our very first visit (and it was a limited history, during which he proceeded to bash me because he did not take a complete history and bother to LISTEN) and what I tell him now. So, after all of that rambling...No...point blank I have not asked him what HE thinks M's diagnosis is. I have not asked why we're discontinuing the Celexa, only because we haven't yet. Right now, the only thing discontinued is the Tenex, so I figured one thing at a time. At the next appointment, then I will ask more questions, but with M's current behavior bouncing off the walls and climbing the ceiling, the next appointment may be sooner than 2 weeks! I'll admit, since our first encounter where this man was so rude and condescending to me, I have a hard time collecting my thoughts when I'm in his office. I think my anxiety takes over and it's just hard for me to think. I'm better about things I can pre-plan to say and talk about, but something like d/c the Celexa...well, that came as a surprise, so I wasn't able to collect my thoughts enough to ask more about why, simply because it wasn't happening yet. I hope that makes sense. The next appointment I will definately have more questions about the proposed medication changes...I just wish I could bring one of you with me! [/QUOTE]
