Porter-Starke Services: John Sajiv MD

Dr John over medicated me with 45 milligrams of abilify it took three prescriptions of a bill of 15 milligrams to be filled each time I had to get an override from the doctor saying I really needed it I have been on 30 now for about 10 years and I am fine but I should have been on probably 10 to 15 milligrams but Dr John I think is a pompous arrogant ass and should not have a license he thinks his s*** don't stink well I'll tell you what Dr John you are a lousy doctor

This doctor treated me for a opiate addiction that I had. He treated me for 2 years. He prescribed me Suboxine and antidepressants...I felt like it took something tragic for him to change my meds. He never cut me down from the Suboxine...as that was the plan we discussed. Every time I saw him, I was in and out. He didn't act concerned. I asked to see a counselor...and I was informed someone from Porter Starke would contact me...they never did...and I called quite frequently and still had never saw a counselor. The antidepressants were not working and when I explained to him...he told me to wait until next month and give it more time, or he would increase my dose. It caused me to be suicidal...which I have NEVER had thoughts like that. The Symbalta that he prescribed gave me horrible stiffness and soreness. My body was full of knots. I went to my family physician and they called the pharmacy and the symptoms that I was having were severe side effects and I was advised by my family physician to stop immediately. Now wouldn't Dr. John know the side effects since he does prescribe medication and is a physician??!! Anytime I told him that my nerves were so bad and I was having anxiety attacks and panic attacks...he told me to exercise. I feel like he was not interested in helping...he is just interested in the money....enough said. I would not recommend him to anyone. My sister started to see him when I first started seeing him and she made many points more clear to me and she stopped seeing him a long time ago. Now that I know there are other physicians that can prescribe Suboxine...I plan on seeing someone else and weening off. He will not get another dime from me...EVER.
