Finally I got my 1st appointment on Wednesday with my new psychiatrist; she doubled my meds and made another appointment for me next week. I'm so drugged... I had to stop taking Lexotan as she told me to or I would be asleep all day like I did yesterday...

Now I have to wait about 2 weeks to see if these are the right doses to take.Embarassed

 

She also spoke to a psychologist and made an appointment 3 days before I go see her so I can have psychological support with him.

So here I go again, drugs and more drugs to keep me going and praying that the body doesn't get harmed by so many chemicals.Frown

 

One thing I have found out is that the nurse that 1st talk to me for 30 min. Before I could talk to the Pdoc, must thought she was talking to a mental patient with a very weak will power or someone she could do whatever she is used to do with mental patients!Tongue out

 

Well, she was very wrong as she found out later when the Pdoc did what I wanted and saw that I might have Bipolar But I'm neither weak nor stupid, so they ended up respecting me as a person and not as an idiot. I'm more lucid and sane that she will ever be so it was great seeing her bent over and not me.Wink

 

As I said it many times we are not bipolar and we need to have more respect from those who work with mental patients.
