I moved to a new town in September, to stay with my mom, due to my poor mental health. I was receiving services where I was, and had a tough time finding services here. Finally got a slot in one mental place and then another slot in a different place. I decided to keep both appointments to see which one I liked best.

So last week I made my second visit to the first pdoc, asked for and received a prescription for Seroquel. But I haven't started it yet.

Today I had my first appointment at the second place. I didn't tell the nurse practitioner about the other place or that I had been prescribed Seroquel, because I wanted to see what her diagnosis and prescription would be. And after a thorough assessment she agreed I was BP1 and decided to also put me on Seroquel. Wrote me a script. I still didn't tell her about the other place.

Now I'm feeling awful that I didn't tell the np today about the appointment last week and that I already had some Seroquel. What do I do? Obviously I need to cancel my next appointment at one of the places and just stay with one person. But I don't know which one. There are pros and cons to both. I'm thinking I want to stay at the place I went to today.

But I'm also worried that I'll get in trouble for 'doctor shopping' and that I shouldn't pick up the prescription at the new place. Would that be illegal to get two prescriptions for the same med in one month? But if I don't pick it up the np might think I'm being non-compliant. Should I just call her on Friday and confess everything?

Ugh, why do I get myself into these messes? Anyone have any advice?
