@catjudo It seems like you are talking to someone else maybe?
You haven't heard the entire story. The Risperdal he put me on was making me severely depressed and causing mental confusion. It completely took away my feelings and turned me into a zombie. I have medical evidence from an Endocrinologist that I have a hormone imbalance. I have not had a menstrual cycle in 9 months and I have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow because they suspect a small pituitary tumor.
We tried every which way we knew how to work with this Psychiatrist "together as a team", but he was failing to look at the medical evidence and he would not listen to what I was saying about how the Risperdal was affecting me negatively. When I told him I didn't want to take Risperdal anymore and asked to try something else, he dismissed my case.
What is it that you think we could have done differently?
Also, that same doctor told me that I could just stop taking the Risperdal and that I would have no withdrawal effects. The night before last, I experienced a psychotic break and a severe panic attack--things I've never experienced in my life before. Even the ER doctor isn't sure why a Psychiatrist would put me on an antipsychotic for having a hormonal imbalance. The ER doctor shook her head when she heard he told me I could just simply stop taking the medication and would experience no withdrawals.
So, I'm not sure where you are coming from. It sounds like you are speaking to someone else. You don't know me or my story at all. I am not an argumentative patient. I don't see where you are getting that from at all? :eek::unsure:
