> A psychiatrist, a neurologist, or a psychopharmacologist? Can anyone give me a low down on their thoughts on this?

It depends on your needs. A neurologist would likely have much less experience with psychotropic medications, since that's not the specialty. A psychiatrist might have more generalized skills, including therapy. And a psychopharmacologist would have the most experience and expertise in prescribing psychotropics.

Personally, I see a psychopharmacologist who specializes in "interesting" cases. I also have therapy with a psychologist. For me, that makes the most sense -- I don't need a psychiatrist to offer any sort of therapy, but I do need someone who's got a lot of experience with medications for people like me who have difficult reactions to some medications.

There's one answer. I look forward to seeing others.
