Do you know if your insurer will even allow you to stay inpatient for weeks? Most do not allow this. Is it possible you will go cold turkey and have your insurer limit your stay?

If your insurer pulls the plug on this plan, are you prepared to leave the hospital and/or ready to take on the financial obligations which come with staying?

If you are admitted to the hospital, who is in charge of your care? Does your pdoc also work at this hospital? If not, then others will be in charge of your meds and your care when you are under their roof.

Lots to think about!

Please think things over and ask lots of questions. There are potential ramifications that only affect you, not your pdoc.

Please take good care of yourself!
I wish you well! Truly!

My insurance hates it when I stay more than a week!

My pdoc is very strange and I think this is just a part of that. He also suggested ECT and TMS because I've been through pretty much all of the different meds I can try and I still have worsening manias.
