Just to let everyone know; I am not concerned about getting a rx for the Lamictal. Worst comes to worst, I may forgo medication and seeing anyone. I am feeling less in a panic now; just said if he decides to dump me for sure. I have two more appointments scheduled with him before he goes on vacation and then I go on vacation (August 4th and August 11th for appointments). I also have an appointment with anohter psychiatrist for July 30th, this Sunday. He is someone I might be able to see or at least use as a consultant as suggested by my current psychiatrist. The issue is not so much the medications, I guess, as it is that I have been seeing him weekly for therapy as well for the past year and three months. I worked hard in therapy and made progress faster than he expected I would--he said so; now he says my strong feelings about him are getting in the way of therapy, and we are at an impasse. He is right, I hate to admit, and says if we cannot get past the impasse, then I need to find someone else. He tells me I need to get help for myself, if not from him than from someone else. He is not a complete a-hole but I would think he could figure out what my anger and demeaning of him has been about. I have figured it out--trusted him, said too much too fast, and then got scared and had to push him away. I have had some time to distance myself from what has happened as he won't let me email him anymore. I needed that so I could quit unraveling. Enough said. I think I could be okay without therapy and med's. It would just be better in the long run to do both.
