So my psych nurse is very flighty. I routinely have to wait 45 minutes past my appointment time to see her. Well today it was an hour and fifteen minutes! My appointment was at 4:30 and she didn't see me until 5:45! It was ridiculous. Seriously, OVER AN HOUR? Why bother making an appointment? And this is every single time I go there. Even if I'm her first appointment of the day! I've even been there waiting and she didn't even show up to the office until a half hour after my appointment time!
She's very nice but she's kind of a ****** nurse. I have to research my own treatment options and suggest them to her, and then she be a and haws about why it might not be a good idea and says she has to check with the head psychiatrist before making a decision, which means I can't switch meds until the next appointment. I was the one who suggested emsam and she gave me such **** about it because she thought it was too dangerous. She had honestly never heard of it before but saw maoi and said no way.
I've stuck with her because she gives me free samples of invega and has been for three years. But we (meaning I) have made the decision to transition off of invega in June and try latuda instead. I think if I get settled on latuda, I'm going to look for a new provider. Hopefully a doctor this time. I have better insurance so I should be able to find SOMEONE other than her and my old psychiatrist in the area. I just can't take the wishy-washiness and the insanely long waits anymore!
I know lots of people have fired their pdocs on here. What was the final straw? I'm hesistant because honestly she's a nice person but shes just not very good. But I hear so many horror stories of pdocs that I'm afraid to try to find someone new!
