Most GPs I have talked to know next to nothing about psychiatric medications. The incompetence runs deep, not limited to psychiatric medications. Just for an example: they know absolutely nothing about seizures caused by withdrawal symptoms of benzodiazpines. In fact, I had a psychiatrist who I had an appointment to after one month, and he knew I was on 2 x 2 mg of alprazolam, well, imagine what would have happened if I could not have gotten my hands on benzodiazpines: seizures. I had them before. No one really cared, my psychiatrist didn't, my GP didn't.
