Thanks Omegaland. This is a weird situation. My AP is not working any longer and the only option I have left is clozaril. I can't go on clozaril until I'm off Seroquel because of a cardiac interaction. So I need to go in, be taken off Seroquel which is likely to make me pretty sick from my pdoc says, then when I'm off Seroquel at least enough then I can start the clozaril and begin titrating up on it. So pretty much I feel horrible now, will feel worse for part of my hospitalization and will leave the hospital still feeling pretty bad but with more hope for improvement than I've had in a long time. I've been in a constant severe episode alternating mixed and depression for about 13 months now. So I very much want to go. As long as I go where I'm used to being I'm very comfortable there. I know the staff and they know me. If I wind up elsewhere I'll still be fine and I have no idea how much I'll be able to participate in groups and things anyway.

I'm sorry you have to wait for a new dr. I'm realizing what a blessing it is that I have never had to do that and as long as I am willing to drive 2.5 hours and stay with the same hospital I probably never will just because it is big enough and prestigious enough that drs. do go there and stay there and that's not likely to change. When mine retires when she's about 80 she'll refer me to someone else and so on. This is a very fortunate thing. Except for the whole no dr at the hospital thing. That's not so fortunate and I'm sad because I really liked the doctor who left.
