I work at the local hospital and know of most of the psych docs. Many of them are reluctant to give out meds. I think the pendulum has started to move the other way in favour of not medicating the patient. I can understand this to a degree because polypharmacy can create a real mess; and certainly some patients do not participate in their own care as much as possible. There is a walk in doctor, however that belongs to our local mental health team. Maybe I will try him.
Most of the meds I'm on can cause some degree of dry mouth. They are prometrium 100 mg, methylphenidate 10 mg TID, mirtazapine 4 mg at night, synthroid 50 mcg, cytomel 25 mcg. The doc just discontinued my cytomel because my TSH was low and my free T3 was high. However because my free T4 was slightly low he marginaly increased the synthroid.
Thanks for your input.
