Also might partially depend on how you’ll dose quetiapine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannyG81 Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 I'm booking to see a private Pdoc...Just waiting on his call which should hopefully be this week...I'm considering drawing up a medication action plan and taking it too him with my own thoughts/suggestions on different medication i could explore..I'm not seeing him for diagnosis so hopefully most of the appointment will revolve around treatment..I will take some previous notes from the past to help him along i just dont want the session taken up with me pretty much repeating my background story over and over...Especially when paying out of my own pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
