I have to wait until March to see the new psychiatrist so this really sucks.

Hi Sunshinesworld,
Welcome to PC and to the Bipolar forum!
I am sorry you are having a rough time.
I often hear of people in a similar predicament, with med changes made in a day program and then no immediate access to another pdoc for follow-up. It seems very irresponsible to me. I am so sorry!
Have you asked to be put on a waiting list with the new pdoc, incase someone cancels and you can get in?
If you cannot access a pdoc, is there any chance your Primary Care doc can help you? I know it's not ideal. Perhaps s/he could help to advocate for you with the new pdoc?
I wish I had an easy answer for you.
Please keep posting, if doing so helps. We are here to support you. I hope to see you around the forums.
I hope things get much better for you, pronto.
