Hello everyone,
I'll keep this as short as possible. I have bipolar 2 and have been responding very well to lamictal for the last 8 months, I was diagnosed by a psychologist and a psychiatrist, but due to not having insurance until recently, my GP has been prescribing and seeing me. My bipolar has been under control, but there's one lingering issue which has blown-up over the last 48 hours (paranoia and anxiety) and I need to see a psychiatrist as soon as possible, I'm already scheduled to see a therapist on Monday. It's not an emergency that requires hospitalization, but the anxiety and paranoia is extremely painful mentally and physically. I took 1mg klonopin 1-2 times per day for about a month which helped, but I stopped because I was afraid of becoming dependent. The psychiatrist which originally prescribed the klonopin is booked out for almost two months. I'm really trying to see someone on Friday (3 days from now) when I get paid and I was wondering if there's anything I can say to them (being honest of course) to get them to see me, I'm not saying I'm more important than anyone else, but I feel like i'm in survival mode. Thanks
