Ready to give up!!! Wish I'd never moved to this G*d forsaken place!!!

Oh, wow... you need your meds. Please call him again. My pharmacist will volunteer to call any doctor not responding and they answer extra quickly to pharmacists, usually. Maybe let your pharmacist know you need meds and enlist his/her help in obtaining an acceptable response from the doctor?
A friend of mine had moved far, far out into the wilderness, into a very small town. There was no doctor in town. The nearest (tiny) ER was almost two hours away. The nearest mental health center was two hours away. He'd ended up having to do "telemedicine," seeing a pdoc on Skype. He was never happy with the psych care.
Please don't give up!
Please reach out to the doctor (again) and also to your pharmacist.
