I recently discontinued my medication because of some passing suicidal thoughts. It was nothing serious though. I was taking Pristiq, Wellbutrin, and Trazadone. I've been on Wellbutrin and Trazadone and never had suicidal thoughts so I think it might be the Pristiq. I believe the suicidal thoughts were medication induced. I haven't had any suicidal thoughts since I stopped taking my medication. I actually feel a little bit better but that's not saying much. I'm still pretty much miserable. I'm able to function pretty well. I'm still going out and doing things which is good.
I see my psychiatrist on March 14. My case manager will also be attending to go over my treatment plan. I really don't know what to do because of my slight paranoid thoughts. I don't trust my doctor or my case manager. For some reason I think they might be sabotaging my treatment. Every time I keep telling my psychiatrist things aren't going well he just cuts me off and tells me I'm doing fine and fills out the form to set up another appointment in 4-6 weeks. He never listens to me. He just hears what he wants to hear just like my case manager. Needless to say I don't think much of both of them but I don't really have any options.
I tried seeing another psychiatrist in late November when I went for a physical. My primary care doctor was also a licensed psychiatrist so I saw him for a second opinion. He was the nicest guy in the world and really honestly wanted to help me. He actually cared but I didn't feel entirely comfortable with him and I had to wait an hour and a half to see him every appointment and I have no patience so I went back to my old psychiatrist in February. Plus, if I continued seeing the other doctor I wouldn't be able to attend the comfort zone anymore. It's a hangout center that's open monday thru friday. It helps get you out of the house and socialize with others. They have some tv's, computers, a pool table, and they serve you lunch everyday. It also helps keep you from getting lonely because I don't have many friends. The place is a little bit boring but it's just nice to get out and socialize.
I really just don't know what to do right now. Any suggestions?
