I'm speaking in general terms because I want to know what everyone else does and if I'm expecting too much.

I had an issue that occured Friday night at Midnight and my psychiatrist doesn't return phone calls until after he's seen all his clients at 6:00 PM Monday evening. He has no answering service, no backup, nothing.

Even when I asked him about this he really had no suggestions other than to scold me for messing up on my medications. I didn't do it on purpose! And it's not my fault my husband and I had a huge fight right after! Well, maybe it's my fault.

But rather than telling me "well you should have done X" I really need to know what to do if this happens again. Because honestly, it's not the first time.

I ended up calling my prior provider but I'm not her patient anymore so I really shouldn't have called her.
