So went to my pdoc and because I quit effexor xr and went back on Celexa without his permission, he called me a very difficult patient, and said he couldn't work with me. I of course told him the feeling was mutual as I walked out.
He told me the side-effects I described when I was on effexor xr, I couldn't have possibly gotten from effexor. He said that doesn't happen on effexor. He then also said my GP, said I was too knowledgable about medications, and therefore he felt I am too difficult and he won't work with me. He wanted me to stay on effexor.
Funny thing that, he wasn't working with me, but he was playing god and telling me what is best for me, without listening to me. Ya, I know get a new pdoc, obviously I have no choice.
I am so disappointed in the medical community.
PS. This pdoc also runs a clinical trials operation out of his office, and obviously this is where he gets most of his income. I wonder if he is getting most of his funding from Wyeth lately.
