pushy midwife.

I was on a 300 mg of antidepressants before ending up pregnant.
When I went In to the office yesterday to confirm my pregnancy I got a midwife who is completely new to the building. That wasn't a problem for me.
I didn't get to see my Dr who I have been going to for about 3 years now, when I brought up the medication I was on and how I was due for refill but wanted to talk to my Dr about discontinuing them or seeing what other options I had she was really pushy about it saying she was here and had discontinued it for me so why would I need to talk to my Dr. I told her he was the one to prescribe them to me and knows my history she admitted she didn't read any of my file. Didn't even know I was a previous patient that continued to go there regularly. IV also been getting yearly paps done and she only did a culture test saying there is no need for a pap since I'm not 26 yet (will be 21 soon)
I know I basically got what I wanted, it still aggravated me that she didn't read my file and wouldn't let me discuss it with the dr b4 completely discontinuing things herself. (No I'm not suicidal, but I was considered to have sever depression which is what put me on the meds.)
I'm supposed to see him next week so I'm keeping fingers crossed that's how it stays!

    hopefully he will see things the way you do. BTW congratulations! Maybe during your visit ylu might speak to him about the pushy, unfamiliar with your file midwife. This is a delicate time and being pushy isnt very nice. Just saying. Not cool. Good Luck!

    That sounds like a pretty rotten experience. I am by no means a doctor or giving medical advice, but I've heard that it can be dangerous to stop meds like antidepressants cold turkey. It might be a good idea to call the office and chat with your dr about that prescription and your options.

    I remember when I had gotten a snippy attitude from one of the nurses in my OB's office and I had mentioned it to the doc. He addressed it right there. I was walking past his office as he was yelling at her saying{paraphrasing of course}" Pregnant women are emotional. You are to treat them with respect no matter how you feel about them personally." She has been pretty nice ever since.

    This sealed the deal for me that I will never leave this office(unless I have to move far away).

    You should talk to the OB or even call and leave a msg about it. I think that's shItty of that woman to treat you that way.

    No need for papers because you are not 26!!!! What is wrong with her anyone over 18 or sexual active should get One. Now I am no genius but I am guessing you must be sexually active. Lol. Don't go back to her. I would want to talk to someone that knows me

    Yikes. That's bad. What does she expect you to stop cold turkey? That is very dangerous to do with antidepressants.
