Do you not get in trouble these days for that; as in, could it not look like you’re “doctor shopping”?

- ddorian43 7y agoHmm depends on the country I guess. But believe me there are bad doctors out there (your specific case) so you'll have to switch.
- scroblart 7y agoI've successfully avoided this kind of crap (never fell for the medication frenzy). Somebody close to me was able to find a psychiatrist who would assist them in getting off meds only when a third party intervened. The problem is not with individual doctors, it is that the structure {legal, economic} surrounding mental health favors getting people on medication, but doesn't create good paths for them to get off (at least in the US).
- bdavisx 7y agoThat's generally done to get more medicine, not to find one to help you quit using it.
- orhmeh09 7y agoWith the ways we’ve seen other systems work, I’d almost expect to be placed automatically on some kind of list that would get you a stonewall response from most doctors you visit for the rest of your life. In fact, there are such databases; here is an article about one in MS: https://www.sunherald.com/news/local/crime/article62959432.html https://www.sunherald.com/news/local/crime/article62959432.h... I’m sure there will be/are places where these databases are run by private companies with no accountability and no way to issue a complaint.
