I’ve been seeing a dr for depression today was my third time going the first time i ever seen him we went over normal stuff meds. Health history told him i had fibro. And the pain he told me he wanted me to admit myself told me that i was depressed and it would do me some good and to get in i just needed to tell them i wanted to hurt myself 2nd time he adjusted meds and told me to admit myself and just tell them i told my boyfriend to get all guns out of house and today omg he tells me to admit myself i asked him why he wanted me to admit myself so bad he said to get me off all of my medications and when i said whay he said fibro isn’t real and i am abusing them by being on something i didn’t need well first of all iam one that will hurt and hurt before i take anything and then i take only half and wait half our and take other half if need and wished i wasn’t on so many 2nd i would never hurt myself i have kids and a grandbaby 3rd i dont have guns and 4th im not gonna lie about something to admit myself somewhere were i know im not crazy i don’t abuse my meds i would give anything to nor have fibro abd be pain free and i wouldn’t be on my meds if dr didn’t think i need it and to have someone say that to you the.first 3 times they see you grrr people with fibro don’t want to hear that fibro is not real when we all wished it wasn’t but live it everyday
That isn't a vent! You should report him to the medical board. That is very inappropriate. I would definitely get a new doctor. Hugs, you shouldn't have to go through that!!
Gentle Hugs,

Tina, I am so sorry. You need to get away from that Dr. You need to find someone who will listen to you. If you are depressed like all of us its ok to talk with a counselor. And you are right why lie. All fibromyalgia patients feel crazy and depressed because this illness makes no sense. One day fine next day half dead. Confused, angry....you need a Dr. Who has some common sense and who will walk with you down the road. I will pray for you to find someone to care for you who cares....and don't suffer needlessly if you need your pain med then you need to take it. Hugs to you.
Ty all i already reported him to my regular dr. And in process of looking for another one
I had a psychiatrist who also wanted me to get myself admitted, HE had an agenda, he made $ on the side by giving eletro-shock "therapy" sessions. So, yes report the Bugger!!! & don't forget to tell the MD who suggested him! M
print and mail to medical board in my opinion... i think this is part of the reason why i really want to enter into contracts and have them take surveys before they treat me.. i just dont know how
It's such an abuse of resources to have a Dr. tell you to lie to get admitted. Meanwhile there are genuine psychiatric crisis. .Anyway I wouldn't return to that Dr. if I were you, also who among fibro sufferers hasn't been accused or at least questioned or hinted at abusing our meds? Just one of our realities. Also, I always wish upon health care providers my pain, if they could get through one of our nights waking up praying the pain will stop, that would change their minds.
