RE: [SPAM] GPs- why they know so little?

[Guest guest]

Hi Ikam

I am also in the UK and same as you have come to the realisation

that I know far more than my GP about this, I think maybe a lot of people do

come off the drugs ok in the way the GP’s tell them to, but maybe like I

used to, a few months down the line some of them are back in the surgery having

“relapsed” and go back on the drugs, which is the catch 22 I have

been stuck in for years. My GP thinks I’ll be off in six months!!!! Luckily

I have a repeat prescription for the liquid prozac so hopefully I won’t

have to keep going back to see her, they just don’t get it at all.

Hi,

I think that even my homeopath knows so little about drugs withdrawal

and the knowledge of GPs' in UK is just appalling! They accept what I

do but keep saying that my programme is strange as they know nobody

else who does it this way...I went on Wed. for my medication to a

different GP and he was surprised when I said about my programme.

Hopefully, he accepted what I do...If he did not I would go and

complain...

I don't know why they know so little. Sometimes I think that maybe we

don't give them enough info about our struggle. Seems to me that they

hear from their patients about successful stories of decreasing meds

in a quick way.

I guess they may be in conflict between a knowledge given to them by

Big Pharma and our stories and they somehow choose the believe the

first one, just bending information so it fits the picture. Typical

dissonance...

I don't care as long he gives me what I want, but there are other

people who go through the pain, because their GPs Are the patients

somehow responsible for not educating their doctors???

Maybe they think that this is not a wihdrawal but dpression set back?

They believe what they are trained to believe and they selectively

find the evidence for it.
