In reply to Ways to find a good pdoc?, posted by Racer on June 24, 2006, at 15:30:46

Great question, Racer. (And Hi!)

> I've had it. I'm not doing well

Sorry to hear it.

> My T recommended the current pdoc

Interestingly, 3 recommendations from 2 therapists haven't worked out for me.

> and to see if I feel comfortable with anyone

I can't remember where, but I recently read a recommendation that anyone just starting out to get psych treatment should set up appointments with 3 practitioners! Interview each and compare what they say. A lot of work and money for people who aren't functioning well.

> What's worked for you?

Yellow Pages is how I've had the most success. I've called around to see who can take me and who I can afford, and I've sampled them and gotten lucky that way twice. Including finding my current pdoc, who gives me off-label meds. But the pdoc before that was NOT good, and she came from the Yellow Pages, too. So I nixed her and moved on.

Also, I lowered my expectations and kept my eye on my ultimate target: a safe, effective drug, not a good pdoc.
