She called some referrals from her office. The first two didn't have any appointments until mid next month and the 3rd one had one this upcoming Tuesday but I would have had to pay $275 plus my copayment. I've never been so a doctor that requires some down payment like that. The doctor told me my best option is to go to rehab and get off of them.

If nothing else works and that's the only medicine keeping me calm and not a terrified recluse, why force me off of it? I don't understand.

I think it was about $350 at my first appointment but they are typically a full hour. I had to pay all of it because my deductible is higher than that....I would expect you'd have to pay that if you're using private insurance exclusively.
