Thanks. I will let my psychiatrist know about it, though I am currently between pdocs. My old doctor is retiring, and I will be seeing the other doctor at that practice but not until March 22. I did see a different psychiatrist at the beginning of March, but didn't like her. She wouldn't prescribe me any meds until I procured lists from my pharmacy & mail order pharmacy of my current meds and bloodwork results from a recent hospitalization (medical, not psych related). I was 2 weeks post a very painful surgery and had no inclination to run/call around doing this. Plus, my old psychiatrist seemed able to view all my pharmacy info from her office computer. Also, she wouldn't give me an emergency contact number to call after hours, didn't seem to understand how you could have an urgent matter that was not a 911 emergency; my old doc gave her cell phone for this. The new doc told me she had voicemail but never checked it on holidays, while on vacation, during the weekends, just when she got back to the office. I was like OMG, is the psychiatrist serious? But because I have seen that horrible doctor, I technically transferred my care over to her, even if I have no plans to see her again. Some people definitely should not be a doctor, let alone a psychiatrist. I wouldn't want that women even as a primary care doctor.
