If one is used to taking certain meds they may not want to make any changes. People get attached to a certain make, certain doses, immediate vs. delayed release, etc. Sometimes there is an actual reason to keep the regimen, sometimes changing is just a "nocebo" effect.
Is polypharmacy ok or not? Fewer drugs are better of course, but while polypharm regimen A may cause troubles, polypharm regimen B may work well.
Patient, "Is this drug effective?", Dr, "Clinical trials show efficacy in persons with problems similar to yours, but THERE IS NO DATA ABOUT YOU, so we need to carefully look at this as treatment progresses". #clinicaltrials #Psychiatry

What about paranoia? We can give meds but what about reasoning? An “agency coming after me” is common. We try to remind people that if an agency was after them they would have been gotten already because agencies don’t like to waste time. Us: https://t.co/W6SS4mUflN
What to do when your company wants you to get a specific psychiatric intervention to return back to work, although you don’t have a problem to work? Get a Dr letter and a legal consultation. Us: https://t.co/W6SS4mCEuf, https://t.co/urVpIy8ewg
