They're far more likely to consider your case as they have taken the training. Malpractice insurance has shied a fair amount of psychopharmacologists away from opiates and barbiturates because of the risk of death, allergic reaction and extreme habituation.I got a diagnosis from a neurologist stating that it is probably tardive akathisia over a year and a half ago.
