Right, will try keep this as brief as possible:
1. I really like my GP, I can relate to him, he is available and listens to what I have to say.
2. When I phoned him to ask for a recommendation with regards to a pdoc, he recommended Doc A. Doc A only had an opening in 2 months (I think this was because it was an inital appointment) and I felt I couldn't wait that long.
3. So he recommened Doc B - I could see Doc B within a few days, she made the dx of BP II and I've seen her a few times since Feb. I am concerned that she doesn't take me serious enough when I tell her that I'm suffering from serious depression, or that I feel my meds are not helping as much as they should in the current combo...
4. I think I'm actually intimidated by her, lol
5. Now my script is about to run out - I'm sure i could get a new one from my GP, but I have not ever seen him for this reason...? Nor does he know i suffer from BP II. I used to have serious doctor phobia, and I think it's coming back.
6. My thinking right now is to go to my GP and get a script. Then possibly consider setting up an App with Doc A, as I can now wait 2 months for a med change (I'm fairly stable right now).
7. one of my biggest concerns right now is that in South Africa, BP is considered a chronic condition. Medication for all chronic conditions have to be covered by medical aid, even though some medical aids will provide a list of what medications exactly are covered. I'm not sure if a specialist must fill in the application form, or if even a GP can. This means I wouldn't have to pay for medication.

OK, just a ramble - not sure if my brain is all there
