I just got back from my appt. with my psychiatrist. Last time I saw her was two weeks ago and she said then that she wanted me to cut down on the Abilify and wean myself off of it, which I did.
I started to feel slightly manic when I was off of it for only a few days (shakey, anxiety, no appetite), so I was wondering if it was the right thing to do.
Well, today and she said that she didn't want me off of the meds, she'd only wanted me to cut down to a lower dose.
Now, I KNOW what she said two weeks ago - she said to wean myself off, and today she said that was not what she said at all. I know what I heard and I hate it when Dr.'s treat us like we're idiots. I would not have gone off of the meds if she didn't tell me to. UGH! I'm so frustrated!!
I'm having back surgery in 12 days and I am in a lot of pain. The pain is getting worse every day now, so I'm in even more pain today than I was a few days ago. It really sucks, but the surgery will help, so I am grateful for that. But my patience isn't what it normally is because I am hurting so bad. It was hard for me to even go to the appt. today because sitting in the car is excruciating.
I normally sew everyday for my small couture-design line of girls clothes, and I can't even do that now, so I have nothing to do but sit and watch TV and be in pain all day. I have meds to sleep at night. I didn't need to be treated like a dummy by my p-doc.
Has anyone else ever had that happen with a Dr.? Have them say one thing and then go back on it? Or be treated like an idiot?
