How can I get what I need from my doctor?

Telling your doctor what is going on is the first step. If they don't seem to be helping, however, there's other options. You could try talking to a different doctor for a different set of views. You could also do extended research and bring what you found up to your doctor. It shows that you know what you're talking about and some doctors will be more willing to take you seriously.

Be honest with what you are experiencing and don't be afraid to ask questions, voice concerns, or give suggestions.

Explain to them what it is that is bothering you and they should be able to help you out with your needs

You can get what you need by explaining it to him in details ; whats and whys and he'll help you determine doses, and maybe he'll tell you to see specialists.

Usually doctor knows best what is better for you :) Lying and cheating only leads you away from the progress

Be completely honest so he could determine what you need first...hell take it from there. Just be positive

This can be overwhelming for most people to get out what they need to say and try to sound "normal" while doing so. I have found over my years of having troubles, I do best when I trust the provider. The person I see now is someone I have seen for years and I trust her with everything inside me. If I am having anxieties or scared about what to say, she knows I will send her an email on the portal for the hospital system I belong to, or if I don't have that access I find its best to write out what is going on, or what is happening to you and how you feel out on paper. Calmly, and then write what your expectations really are for the issues. If its weight loss, be realistic... You're not going to lose a major amount of weight in a short amount of time with no effort. Its just not going to happen. When my experience has come in on this, I have shame and am scared about talking to people about my trauma as a child and the recent things that have happened to me. And with that comes the Depresison, anxiety, PTSD, and other issues. I get it out in writing. She has much better luck with me being able to express myself that way, than just waiting for me to speak cause sometimes that won't happen. Good luck in your endeavors to the Doctor. It isn't so bad. You can do it! I support you!

Talk to your doctor and make sure you also ask questions because that way you will be able to get exactly what you need.

Be completely open and honest with your doctor about what you are experiencing. Leave nothing out. The more they know about what you are dealing with, the easier it will be to help.

Be open and honest about your feelings and your needs. Don't leave the doctor's office in doubt, ask as many questions as you need to be clear on how to better follow your treatment and what to gain from it.
