It's not that, but she claims to know what is addictive and what isn't.. She is a GP, of course I do not expect her to know about street drugs. I simply don't like having my personal experience invalidated by someone who wouldn't give me the opportunity to explain what I was trying to tell her about the Klonopin. It was just the way she came at me. It was not the time to address this with her, but I will.
At one point about a year ago, she added another anti to my Celexa.. I did not do well at all with it. I was explaining to her how it was doing and she looked so confused, and said, well, it's not supposed to do that...according to the literature on it... welllll, it wasn't the right combo for me regardless. Just saying that sometimes listening is better than assuming.
Do you feel that those of us with PTSD have a different brain chemistry?? And that it explains why some meds work for us and some don't.. or some combos don't work? Klonopin was good for quick relief, but it left me depressed for days afterward... she didn't want to hear that... so F'n what !!! So I was told not to argue with her... I am working on not being combative when I am treated like that, Dr or Joe Blow down the street... doesn't matter... What would you have done if she had said that to you and you had legitimate reasons to tell her how the med was affecting you?
