@Territoo that was really helpful actually. My pdoc has agree to speak to my next pdoc and like well, we'll see. I should get my records and well, it's not just that it's everything. I am on high doses of everything I rapid metabolize. Good for the waistline bad for the well, everything else. But I will ask GOD knows though my pdoc was the worst like documenter ever. I should like find someone who will at least book me an appointment.
The only thing I have in my favor really is continuity of care. My pdoc CANNOT dump me or not write me scripts even out of state due to like, it's dumping a patient. Even if *I* leave. So worst case for him.... IDK.
He should be motivated to help if you ask me.

I can relate to the high doses and rapid metabolism, of medications anyway, doesn't help me with my weight. I'm on the maximum dose of
three antidepressants, plus two mood stabilizers. I had genetic studies that say I have genes that make me require much higher doses of medication. I remember that quack doc at MHMR tossing the lab report aside, stating he doesn't go by that and I was on too much medication. He stopped just about everything. He probably just didn't understand the new technology. Two weeks later I was so depressed, I was irrational and a month later, I was in the hospital. The hospital doc restarted all my meds and I was fine, my Medicaid then kicked in and I was
through with MHMR.
The trouble is in your case, that once you see a psych, your old doc isn't dumping you. If the new doc doesn't measure up and you don't go back, it's on you. Now, it sounds like you got a pretty good relationship with your old doc, and he won't leave you hanging, but he can't carry you for very long. He probably will still have to phone consult with your new doc, even if you show up with records in hand, but I can tell you for a fact, that having those records on the first visit will help tremendously, probably more than you realize. There was nothing I hated more than to get a complicated patient and no previous records.
I'm wishing you the best in this transition. Finding a good psych is like winning the lottery.
