Ok, I did go in to see her for the regular appointment. I *almost* didn't tell her anything and just said, here you may want to call this guy (my T). Instead, I did that and admitted OD'ing on OTC's and Vicodin, and that I wasn't suicidal, I just didn't care about doing damage. Now this is the funny part: I've never seen a doctor get so flustered like that!

Am I wrong to see that as LMAO funny? Oh, she did *ALMOST* put me in the hospital, teaching/confirming that anytime something like this happens, I shouldn't tell a pdoc, but go to a regular doc instead. She didn't seem to give blam that I had physical symptoms of OD'ing on something--she only cared about psych. Well, fine, next time I'll just see a regular medical doc who doesn't specialize in psych, huh? Shouldn't she also be concerned about physical effects? She wants me back in one week to see if I can go the whole week without doing anything. Well, I told her that I am still recovering from the effects of the last time(s) and that I have no intention right now of doing more damage. I am still working on my blood sugar, having aches and pains, swelling, nausea, etc. I really didn't feel good last night or this morning. I was able to eat half a croissant this afternoon which helped for a while, but not entirely. It also caused a serious problem with my heart racing/palpitations because of not eating much of anything lately, so I had to take one of my propranolol tablets for that. I am almost out of them and worried about being able to get a refill. I don't know what doc I can get to write the Rx for it. I have got to find a new doctor--including Pdoc!
