This clinic thing did NOT work out. I guess I am just used to a different type of care. I tried 2 different therapists (who are actually social workers) and did not click with either of them. It was like they were just doing a job rather than treating me like a person. And, they typed half of the time (like a psychiatrist sometimes does). On top of that, I can't get into the pdoc until Sept. I am taking 600 MG of Lamictal (supposed to go to 800 MG next Thurs), 1350 MG of Lithium, 30 MG of Abilify, 2.5 MG of Klonapin, 100 MG of Zoloft, and 50 MG of Vyvanse. I am taking all of this medication, none of it is working (and if any of it is, I don't know what is), I'm gaining weight, and, worst of all, I'm so tired I can't function. Because of my insurance, I am majorly striking out. So...my mom is taking me to Home - The Couch Monday night. It is a mental health immediate care center. She is going to pay for the evaluation and for me to have the genetic testing done out of pocket. UL, which is our local hospital and the location of my (beloved) former psychiatrist, is not accepting new patients. However, one of my sister's clients is a doctor there and she is going to speak to her and see if she can get me in or get me some other ideas. Some of this HAS to work to get me straightened out.
