My most recent psychiatrist must have gotten a new job or something...I dunno. Anyway, when the community mental health place called, they told me I'd be seeing a new doctor because my old doc was leaving them, probably forever.
I was nervous. She was about 45 minutes late. The session was awesome! She's going to do AIMS testing, try to reduce my Abilify to the 10-20 range (slooooowly), and leave everything else the same for the time being. She was happy that I wasn't taking the Vistaril every night and that I had so far avoided it daytime use.
She's northern (I'm in the southeast), but she's been down here a while. Very professional but friendly, obviously conservative with the meds (good for me, not for all people), and interested in getting to know her patients (I guess she really believes in the whole "bio-psycho-social model" thing).
Awesome!
