Thanks, Janice, but who knows when that new drug will be available in the USA, or if it will even be "all that." Remember BuSpar? It didn't do squat for me.
As for my newest old pdoc, I saw him a couple of times but unfortunately it didn't work out. When I arrived for my third session, another patient was already waiting. He had given away my time, even though I had made the appointment a couple of weeks earlier. He went ahead and saw her since she had been with him longer. He couldn't find his appointment book so he asked for my telephone number and promised he would call to reschedule. He said at least one good thing had come of the double booking -- I had found his new office. Well ... it wasn't too difficult to find since I had been there before, but I guess he forgot that. He seems to have forgotten a lot of things. To make a long story short, it's been two weeks and he still hasn't called. I have Caller ID, so I would have known, and I'm in the phone book had he lost my number. I really think he just forgot about me. I might have called him, but he was so outraged at my old pdoc's behavior (and rightly so). Also, my former psychologist called me at work a couple of days after my old pdoc dismissed me to cancel an appointment. He said he realized it wasn't a good time for me to talk, so he asked me to call to reschedule. Of course, at that point I had more important things to worry about, such as finding a new pdoc, so I never called him back. My newest old pdoc said that it was unprofessional of my psychologist not to have called again. You know, people who live in fragile glass houses shouldn't throw such extremely large stones. It's just as well ... the acoustics in his new office were so bad that I could hear his conversations with patients while I was sitting in the waiting room. I was hoping our sessions would be private, but I certainly wasn't expecting group therapy. Anyway, I may call the pdoc my sister is seeing since she really likes him.
I didn't mean to write a book, but thanks for asking. BTW, if you want more info about that other thing, you can email me.
