In reply to Telling your pdoc about this board, posted by becksA on January 24, 2007, at 1:36:21
My first pdoc was interested in tianeptine which I learned about form this board. The next two were tolerant of it but the last (newly graduated) pdoc was very hostile and suspicious of me having any sort of insider knowledge. He went as far as saying I only entered into mental healthcare services to obtain psychoactive drugs and had no real psychiatric problems. He discharged me on this basis and now my GP believes him she's being very condescending toward me - she recorded the Lamictal rash I developed into my notes under 'Personality Disorder' leaving me with no medical treatment and an accusation of malingering/self-harm for the incident.
It's wonderful when you have a pdoc that's willing to communicate openly with you. I had that kind of working relationship with my first pdoc and made good progress, but this last one seems to have done all he can to disparage me for having (it seems) greater awareness than some areas of his profession than himself. I'm not alone in having this experience - others have reported similar problems with pdocs in the UK.
