Thank you all! TVNerd, I hope so as well! He did seem like he actually wanted to help me which I do not always get. Even tho I am very familiar with meds and what works for me I did not go in asking for anything specific. Just told him what was going on and that I need some help. Also told him that it was not my idea and that family and friends have been telling me I should see a doctor for a second opinion on what my current doctor had me on. I did show him my info but played dumb when it comes to certain things such as what different meds are for. I told him that I usually just trust the doctor and take what he tells me because that is their job. I mentioned a couple meds that I think help but told him I'm open to ideas and that whatever he thinks will work ill try, but that sometimes I feel like I am just being experimented on and would like to limit the amount of drugs. Like you said TVNerd, he said well lets start with what you think has worked in the past and go from there! I have also noticed that it does make a huge difference the way that you come off (dress professional, clean shaven, hide tattoos if you have any). First impressions for a doctor are huge in my opinion. Even tho it sucks that it seems people judge you on appearance as opposed to what is actually going on, I have always had a better encounter when I look professional, and somewhat together. There was a time a couple years ago when I went to see a doc for a new pt consult and I was in rare form (basketball shorts, tank-top, unshaven, ect). I am a relatively muscular guy with a decent amount of tattoos, but clean up very well. Honestly most people that would see me in a work/school setting would never guess that roughly 60% of my body is inked (none visible if I'm wearing a tshirt a long pants). Although like I said before, it sucks that some people judge a person based off of things like this, it did seem like I was dismissed from the very start...
