I have a chronic case of anxiety and depression, also being bipolar. I sometimes have really bad panic attacks and my dr has put me on many diffferent meds some that are working and some i feel dont and he seemsb to be hard headed when i bring up suggestions of mayby trying other medications. He doesnt seem to by on the same level as it goes for helping me with my mental isssues. This is why i think i need a new psychiatrist. I work in a maximum security prison which causes more stress in my life along with dealing with anxiety and depression . Heres the story of my meds: my family doctor started me off with i ended sticking with the cymbalta for a while which was helping me until it slowly stop working, When i intial went to my pych he wanted to ween me off my cymbalta and focus more on my anxiety. Since he did this it went all downhill from here.. is he wrong for stoping something that worked.?.. see part 2 for more info

Psychiatrists have sufferers in an Insane Asylum. it rather is an very un-happy place. The Insane want help too. that's the pastime of a Psychiatrist is to probability the Mentally sick. this style of a scientific institution is terrible. some locked wards and human beings walking around all drugged up. many that are constrained there has lost their minds for Drug Overdose or Drug use. some stay an prolonged time and a few it rather is purely a quick time. decrease back seventy 5 years in the past, the historic previous of the Insane Asylum became terrible. They suffered on an identical time as being a affected person in those poorly geared up psychological establishments. one that is composed of thoughts is at Independence Iowa. look the region up and the construction is frightening and as quickly as I went there on a excursion for Nurses , it became overwhelming how frightening it became. The sufferers have been locked in chilly cells. Holes interior the floor for them to apply as a rest room. Gates on the doorways to hold them in. Many babies died youthful, because of the fact their psychological ailment might desire to no longer be cured. do by no ability make relaxing of the Mentally sick. Or the docs that artwork so tricky to help and choose sturdy drugs for those in want. To at present a treatment has no longer been got here across. yet some drugs shop those undesirable tortured Souls with Peace. i might desire to write a e book approximately your question. The Mentally sick is so unhappy. The broken thoughts can't be fixed. They go through and so do their families.

I had to answer your question because your name has alkaline trio in it and I LOVE them. But seriously... in my experience about 8 out of 10 psychiatrists suck horribly. The trick is to shop around until you find one that you like and that listens. Let me sit and count how many i've had over the years and how many of them have been good..... hmmm yeah the numbers are pretty disappointing.
Psychiatric medication is very tricky and takes a lot of patience until you get a good balance you are pleased with. I know this from first hand experience as well. You just must be patient and try a new psychiatrist. You didn't mention anything about seeing a therapist but that is known to be equally as effective as meds. so with drugs and therapy together, you are in the best position to feel better. I definitely HIGHLY recommend finding a therapist you like and seeing them regularly.
So anyhow, stop trusting this jack *** of a doctor you have and find someone who is more in tune to what you need. Of course when you are really feeling low you can always turn to your music. It helps me. Good luck!

I also suffer from anxiety and depression and am bipolar, and believe me pysciatrists are quick to medicate but there is a forum that I visit that may be very helpful to you http://bbs.stresscenter.com/groupee it saved my life, and it teaches cognitive therapy over medication.

A lot of time- the Psychiatrist are pretty insane. They think too much and sometimes doesn't realize the actual truth. That's just my point of view... To me- they are pretty creepy...
