Why is it that everyone here seems to get respected by their drs. I demand it. I play the no nonsense game. XYZ is happening so I need a change in Med A, or B but it has to be weight neutral. They talk to me about x med. I tell them why I can/not take it and we move on. I'm in and out within 10min. I'm with a pdoc that everyone seems to hate, including the T's but I like him. He reads the therapy notes before getting you and he plays the no nonsense game.

get to call when needed, but mine "force" me to do it "their" way?

My last team I could walk in because I had special permission as I refused an AP and had times that I was a danger to myself and others. I'm more then skiddish when it comes to mental health. Their thought were "It's better then nothing".

Now my new team: I can only see him at most every 2 months, no walk ins, no calling, no emergency appointments. Your SOL for 2 months or you go to the hospital. I have to say the hospital was my best bet. They quickly changed my meds and stabilized me so that I could wait the remainder of my 2 months. Then my pdoc was able to make adjustments to the new meds to help me more. T hates that I'm seen so little because I'm "severe".

I guess what I'm saying is that I have to do it there way BUT I refuse to keep using something that doesn't work.
