My Psychiatrist refuses to change my med, no matter How I explain the way it feels
I live in Dover Delaware and there are very few docs or therapists who accept Medicaid/Medicare.
Recently, I've seen the PSychiatrist in Dover. I have been on seroquel since 2003 but she wants me to keep taking it, in fact she raised the dosages. I told her this medication make me hyper, angry and manic and my heart would race uncontrollablly ever since I've been on the medication, so to combat the drug, I am give Klonipin and Propranolol. She doesn't take into account on how I feel ans says"I'm the doctor, I know what you need." After being assertive about my rights as a patient and a person, she now wants to inject me with invega, which I have been on before and it was hell.
(I used to be on 100mg s of Haldol for tourette's from another doctor,but this made me dry heave and become nauseous all the time)
So the she switched me to 0.2 mgs of clonidine.Doesn't help. But nausea is gone.
Other friends of mine who have been on Seroquel had similar angry reactions with is meds, from experience Delaware doesn't accept dispensing Clozoril.
For some reason she refuses to listen to me. On the internet I found she is just a nurse practitioner not a Dr. Like she says. I'm a little concerned that she is overriding my rights. Can she do that and should I bring up the patients Bill of rights again?
