New Pdoc

That nurse got what she deserved...  In her believe, the patient has no opinion about the treatment and we have to do what we are told. Well, I guess she learned her lesson because I got to an agreement afterwards with the Pdoc and the poor nurse was not pleased but couldn't say a word. And now I stopped taking most of the Lexotan she prescribed per day because I don't want to be sleepy all day.

I only take the one before I sleep, the other meds are way too high and make me feel sleepy already. My Pdoc said she is very stubborn, and I answered her "so am I" LOL

I'm the one who knows how I feel and how I respond to the meds, not them.

 I decide if I want to be awake or asleep during the day, and that's final! I even told the nurse if this doesn't work I'll go back to my 1st Pdoc, expensive or not but he listens to people.

Oh and by the way, he is the director of a hospital for mental patients and they both work there too... hehehehehehehehe. 

Respect my authorita!!! I love putting people in their place hehehehehehe, I'm too tough for them ...

Next week on the 16th there me goes again, round 2 LOL

 Oh and yes I have an appointment with a psychologist on the 13th so round 2 and 3!!!

I'm starting to enjoy this heheheheheheheh

Thank you Tabby for the support! How is work? Are you ok?

Big hug,

I think - and it is only my opinion here, wrong or right:

it is that mentality that those with mental illness can not, at any time, perceive their reality in the true sense of what is truly going on and therefore must be told, directed, and handled for their own good and the benefit of others around them. 

So, while you say that you are perfectly good with such and such, and may truly be totally lucid and normal - to them you are mentally ill and have no means to judge how you truly and really are.... your perception of your own reality is askew so, here take the pills precisely as we told you, you are mentally ill remember?

It's not that you are against taking the meds or that you are not willing to take the meds... you just don't want to be drugged and zombified during the daylight hours.  Or be twitching and jerking, etc... you'd think they'd be willing to work with folks on that... most aren't.

Course, there are those who play around with their meds to the point of just not taking them at all.  Then they soar OR they completely crash OR both. 

So, the MH folks just get cynical, jaded, and nasty.  They just know right off that  everyone who walks through the door is going to do the precise same thing.  The reality is... most of the patients are just trying to get through the side effects as easily as possible while still taking the damn things.

oh alxv...

I'm glad you found a pdoc who respects you enough to listen and hear you out and is willing to work with and get to know you.   

Yes tabby, that was my 1st Pdoc this one put me on 2 Lexotan a day even though the meds already knock me out without it. But it was my 1st appointment with her and although she  didn't cared when I told her it was too much Lexotan I will continue to do as I want because it's my body.

I will not change the rest of the treatment because I know nothing about it but being like a zombie all day and sleeping 13 hours a day at least, I have to say no.

I'm going to have therapy to help me get some tools to use them when I start working and I need to be awake or I will be fired if I go to work like I'm drunk. My 1st Pdoc was very good in giving small doses of pills so we wouldn't feel sleepy and function like a "normal" person".

Let's see... If she wishes I will lie to her saying that I take Lexotan as she prescribed just to shut her up. Hhehehehehehehe Nobody owns me, not while I'm lucid enough to know what's best for me.

Thank you for the support dear Tabby it's always a pleasure chatting with you,

Alex
