do you have insurance coverage that will work with local, non-va clinics and such? Just asking because...I live in a semi-rural area, and one local health chain (they own a hospital, several family practices, etc.) has started doing online check-ups for relatively minor stuff. I think the prescriptions get sent over to your pharmacy, no big thing...

could you do that? and...sorry. i cannot stand it when psych docs power trip for no really good reason. i would say try your local public/community health clinic, but...that comes with pitfalls, too. they like to put everybody on high dose antipsychotics, for one thing. :-(

again, sorry about all this. i do hope things get better for you.
