Sorry you're going through this. Summer is definitely a bad time since everyone goes on vacation.

Would PHP help if needed, as a preventative measure for full-blown mania?
I'm taking extra klonopin and gabapentin. I have valium but don't use it without approval because I can't really have 2 benzos prescribed at the same time all the time. I won't take it without permission b/c I don't want to somehow fail a drug test. I thought about asking for permission yesterday but really the net effect would be grogginess.

PHP/IOP doesn't work for me. I live far away from anything and I'd have to pay 20% which I don't have. Good idea though.

Thanks. I might. Sometimes she answers on weekends and sometimes not. If she's on vacation not a chance. If she doesn't then I'll have to try calling tomorrow. She can be hard to reach b/c she has an administrative job along with seeing a fairly small number of patients and gets overloaded with emails. Hopefully today is a day she checks in.
