I was sorry to read the title of this thread Beyond, to see that you are feeling frustrated still I hate it when I feel this way.

Your pdoc sounds like a winner - I'm glad that you've got a good one. It's really important for our own mental health that we're with someone that we trust, because at the end of the day our pdocs are integral in our recovery towards maintaining stability for as long a period as possible.

I'm sorry to hear that it's been this much of a mission to get some kind of response to you wanting to increase loxapine, but I'm glad that you're going about this the right way. You've done quite a lot to make some sort of contact.

Yeah you're right she is busy but you're still her patient.

I know it's tempting to want to just double your dose of loxapine, after everything you've tried to do, but I know that you know the implications of just going ahead and doing this yourself without medical advice, otherwise you wouldn't have gone to these lengths to contact her So I just wanted to throw caution to the wind on that one, because I know it's tempting, but it's probably something that you best want your pdoc's approval on before you go ahead and do it ... and the reality is, your pdoc may very well agree to this change ... but you haven't had the appointment nor has your pdoc replied to your emails / voice messages etc, for whatever reason that may be. Doesn't make her actions right though. Because honestly? I think that she should have made contact with you, regardless of how busy she is. What's a 5 minute phone call at the end of her day to touch base with you? I mean how many messages does she want you to leave for her before she decides okay wait there is something going on here?

I hope that she makes contact with you soon.

I don't think that you deserve to be hanging on the edge like this.
