> Yeah, I've wondered about the two SSRIs. If she focuses mostly on therapy, she may not be as skilled with use of medication - it's hard to do it all. As someone else suggested, you might start by asking at the hospital if they know of anyone. Your pdoc might know someone. You can do some creative googling.
All pdocs here in Ontario need to be referred by a doctor here. Even if I did my own Googling, I don't think I would be able to see that doctor. I could be wrong though. I have worried about my pdoc not being skilled with the use of medications for a long time now.

I am interested in Abilify too.
