I'm a counselor and drug reps only visit psychiatrists.  How do I stay up to date on new psych drugs?

If you have concerns regarding your meds ask your dr. or pharmacist because people here do not know your medical history. They should be able to tell you if there is a drug interaction problem or not. A Psychiatrist would probably be best at knowing what you need.

I've worked in a few mental health places, & unfortunalty, this is usually the case.   A psychiatrist is usually VERY busy, overbooked & does not always get back to a person as they should.  Be sure to check around of other Dr's in your local area as well & call them if this Dr. does not get back to you, but I would try at least 2 more times this week & leave persistant messages.  If no go, then call other places, ask around people you met there.   Also, your Primary Care Doctor, someone in the area, or your former PCP can call in at least 1 month of your meds for you until you get into to see a new psychiatrist.  It's a hard battle, I know, but you will get through this.  Good luck:)

Try looking for Adult drug, alcohol, and mental health services in your phone book. It will be listed in County Government services in the beginning of the phone book. I live up in Santa Barbara County and that is where I receive my  psychiatric care. You can also ask your Medi-Cal worker about a list of Medi-Cal accepting Doctors in your area. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I am not in that state how ever a call to the clip board types at social services would be a great place to start! Understand they are buried in people problems but if you  mention the word "intervention" they just may jump and give you a hand. How ever and I dont want to put this spin on it for you if the person in question does not want help all you may be doing is just pushing the time till they hit bottom back farther. I have found that it takes a fairly truamatic event and or some serious faith to change this. the upside is most drug seems to be easyer to with draw from than alcohol with some exceptions. And more than likely the drugs are not the real issue but some thing on a mental health side of the house maybe a few some things not just one. Good luck and it is very cool you are doing this for your child I have met parents who just go up in arms and wish it away.

there are many different anti-depressants available and some work better for some people than others. when you see the doctor the next time tell him the truth about everything. most likely he will change your medication. also prozac can take several weeks to start working so hang in there. \n\ni would also urge you to get yourself some other help. there are many free clinics available.. i could get more specific if i knew where you are but since i dont i will direct you to the yellow pages under mental health, also you may call you doctor and see if you can get a referral to a regular therapist. if you get the referral your insurance will pay for it.... i would also like you to know that you aren't alone in your depression, this disease affect many people. and i know how hopeless it can make you feel. remember that there are people around you that love and care about you. thoughts Of suicide are scary and if you need contact a suicide help line. i am not going to fill you full of cliche reasons not to do it as i believe you already have a good reason to live or you wouldn't be here asking for help. you need to understand that shame is a symptom of depression and it is shame that keeps you from asking for help. understand you dont have to be ashamed. break through all of that and ask someone for help. one final thought is to contact your pastor, this is how i ended up getting help, i went in to see him about my marraige falling apart and after working with me for a couple of weeks he reaized that i need more help than he could give and litterly took me to my first apointment with my therapist. god bless and take care of yourself! and dont be afraid to contact me if  you need:) my im is almost always on  and my email is available through yahoo answers.

When you go to the hospital they throw medicine at you to make you "better" without knowing if it's going to work for you. I suggest that you find a phsychiatrist that you feel comfortable with and have them help you with drug combinations that work for you. Borderline can't be treated with drugs but bipolar can be treated, as can anxiety, and depression so you might be able to find a drug for all three in just one pill. Go see someone you feel safe with and get their help.

Then you need to "hook up" with a psychiatrist who can prescribe you medication.  What you are talking about is either prescription fraud and/or illegal purchase and possession of narcotics.  Do you know that online discusion of this immediately forwarded to DEA, FBI and your state police narcotics squad?  Yes indeedy.  Just those words will get your IP address monitored by them.  Trust me.

Quick!  Make an appointment to see a psychiatrist as soon as possible.  If you don't have a serious drug problem, then you are not emotionally stable.

there might not be any disorder here...so relax...:-).\n\nof course some hyper-capitalist psy/psy (shrinks) would take this oppertunity to get another patient/client.\n\nits some thought/emotion that your mind might be busy with at that time or you did not have much social interaction during childhood or depression can cause it.\n\nhowever people know when they are depressed ....you don't need some "specialist" to tell you that.\n\nare you taking any medicines? \n\nhow often is this happening? how old are you?\n\n\nactually, i realized, you said --> My responses are pretty decent when there is a discussion over something that interests me... studies or world politics or whatever. But in ordinary situations, my responses seem slow. \n\n\nthis is pretty normal in many folks.\n\nyou are more interested in the emotions/thoughts thats that interest you rather than mundane things.\n\nthe brain sometimes "tunes out" of mundane/boring stuff specially when you have been doing too much of it....and want to spend more time on interesting thoughts and emotions.

Call or visit your primary care physician and ask for a referral to a psychiatrist for treatment. \n\nOk, I just noticed that you said you have been taking meds all your life for this. Who is prescribing these meds to you? Start with that doctor.

As redunicorn says, this is a question for your GP. \nBut I am wondering, even if you did get an answer and someone tells you which drug works for them, how do you think you could use that information? All these drugs are prescription drugs!
