I just moved across country and have a new pdoc. She's actually an NP. In any case, she apparently sucks at prescribing and instead of sending regular Lamictal, she prescribed the dissolving one, which I don't need, and anyway my insurance doesn't cover it. She also sent me only 30 klonopin pills when on the questionnaire I was given by her office I wrote that I'm prescribed (or was) 40 pills/month, such that 10 of them are PRN.

I also had a 5-10 minute follow-up appointment with her, when I'm used to 30 minutes every appointment (my last 2 pdocs), which sucks. I'm stable, but I think it's very important to get to know the patient (talk about what's going on in life, etc.) so that if and when something goes wrong, you can respond to it in a more informed way. You can also get to know their baseline.

We'll see how it goes with her. The reason why I see her is because she's in the same office as my brother's pdoc because I didn't know where else to go. I don't want to just google pdocs and find one that way. But I'll give her a chance. Maybe next time I'll tell her about what's going on in my life and talk really fast, lol. I think she only has 10-minute slots.
