I have been working with the same psychiatrist for many years now. In the time that I've seen him, we have been through many drugs. He is not afraid to take chances with meds and as a result have been on some very experimental drugs.
He doesn't just throw medications at me haphazardly, though. Both he and I research the drugs he prescribes and there's a lot of teamwork that goes on. I often come to him with ideas for medications I can take and he will research them before he gives the go ahead and prescribes a drug.
He's usually available 24/7 and I hardly have trouble getting a hold of him. Appointments with him range from 20 to 40 minutes.
Its unfortunate there aren't more psychiatrists like him.
