Hi Med thanks for answering. I wholeheartedly agree with what you've said. Today I saw a gastroenterologist who didn't even know what trileptal was. So he took out that kind of computer pocket size they carry and looked it up. He said oh it's a seizure drug. I said it's also a mood stabalizer. And then he asked me what luvox was. Don't they teach physicians anything about medications? And do the drug reps visit a GP with info about psychiatric medication? I know the one I saw prescribed lexapro even though I told him it didn't work and only made me more anxious. And when I called and told the nurse my legs were jerking and I was more anxious. Did he let me increase my valium? No side effects from it and it works. And I've never abuesed it. Nope he first has his nurse call back and say take resperidol. And when I said I'm not going there. She called back again and said zyprexa. Again I said no and I never went back and stopped the lexapro too. By the way do you have trouble getting meds you need? Any suggestions how I can get someone to prescribe my valium since I've now moved to Charlotte? What part of the country do you live in. Yes I am very nosey. I'd give you my E-mail address but you seem to want to remain anonymous. But again I make the offer to Babblemail me and I'll send it to you. You are so knowledgeable about meds. I'd really like to talk with you. And I don't stalk people ask anyone on the board. Fondly, Phillipa
