I feel stuck in the middle and neither seems to listen psych dr is most understanding but pissed off that internist won't bend and just tells me to stop all psych drugs for 6 months and doesn't consult him. I don't know what to do?
I take xarelto, Zoloft, and serequel. I was on Mobic. Doctor did want me to stop the Mobic because it would counteract with the xarelto. Dummy me didn't think about that. If that's the case I can understand. Both Doctor a need to figure out and change your psych meds if needed, but not have not take any. That's what I should have said.
I don't think it's a good idea to just stop taking any kind of psych med without weaning off them, else you're going to have awful withdrawal. Withdrawal is so bad that it can lead to worse things than worrying about blood thinners. Maybe a second opinion?
@A MyDepressionTeam Member I too had blood clots last January and am on blood thinner. No doctor has ever told me to stop my psych meds. That doctor sounds like a quack. Is there any way you can change the medical doctor. I would look into finding another. Do not under any circumstances stop your psych meds. Prayers for your health.
I can imagine your psych doctor does feel disrespected because they are medical and mental doctors and he knows what he is doing. Does no good to have good physical health if your mental health is shot and makes living miserable!
Thanks autumn, yes they did talk which is what made psych dr mad. He thought they disrespected him I think and agree I will probably just do what p doc suggests and ? Lie to GP it just seems stupid that GP doesn't take the other meds as just as important
