Hi all,
I am moving soon, and my next appt. with pdoc will be my last. I don't have an appt. with pdoc set up in my new location. my old pdoc will write me some scripts to get me through the next few months and told me that the challenge this year will be to get me off of medication altogether.
(no GP yet either)What is the longest that you have gone without a pdoc appt?
I'm relatively stable right now, but funny things happen when psychological events threaten to destabilize me at every turn. great upheaval associated with graduation, move and switching T's and pdocs and lifestyle of being unemployed.
Any suggestions?
Here are the suggestions I've gotten so far:
1. contact a large university with teaching hospital and explain that I'm a recent graduate and would like a referral to a pdoc in my area.2. get in touch with a new T and figure out what he has to say about various pdocs in the area. My case will probably require some negotiation between what pdoc and T says is best for someone with my ever-fluctuating symptoms
3) use GP to write scripts if necessary, or to provide a referral to a pdoc
any other suggestions?
I think that the main aspect of my getting well will be the work I do with T. the psychopharmacology is mainly an "augmentor" to help me cope with life and keep me from spiralling out of control during this period of uncertainty.
thank you for your kind suggestions,
