> In that case when just getting started you either have to rely of a referral from the med-guy or hope for the best. Then, gut reaction can at least tell you if you are being harmed, in which case (easier said than done) you try again. Or give up.
>I got a referral to a social worker from a former pdoc. We lasted about three sessions. I thought she was brainless. I think I need to work with someone who can out-argue me. My most recent pdoc said I was too smart for my own good, because I could always think of a reason why something wouldn't work or wasn't right.
(We were doing psychotherapy of a sort, too. I was seeing her for an hour a week. Part of the time was spent on meds, and part of it on other things. She was the one who got me started on my diary, which I was (am) posting online on Social. It made her laugh. What I really liked about her was that she *listened*, she read the articles I brought her, and she took me up on my suggestions, such as trying Cytomel.)
