In reply to Anyone seen a psychopharmacologist?, posted by Snoozy on May 8, 2003, at 12:32:33
I don't think this is a true specility, with a board or certification. So I think one just calls themselves a psychopharmacologist because this is what they are intrested in.
My first pdoc was a psychopharmacologist. Excellent knowlage of meds and neurology
and very willing to discuss this. She took a very complete history. Quite comfortable with meds and
was good about discussing side effects. Willing to try most anything, within reason. "James, I don't care which AD you are on, as long as it works".
Even when meds did not work, she was very intrested in what the effect were as she said this was a big help in understanding my neurology.
