Went to see my psychiatrist

We went to see my psychiatrist in person for the second time.

My brother accompanied me in his office.

It took like 45 minutes to get to his office with traffic but I’m glad I saw him in person.

He told me that I tend to mess with my meds and he is not going to lower my Risperdal dose below 2mg.

He got to witness my hand shaking from the TD but he said that it seemed better than before.

So far I really like my psychiatrist, he seems to know a lot about meds, lots of experience.

Because his office is rather far away I will mainly talk to him by phone with occasional in person visits.

My brother thinks he’s a good doctor too.

The problem is that I’ve been on a ton of different APs and risperidone is the only one that works best for me
