Well my Pdoc covers 3 clinics so he has no trouble in making Med changes over the phone.. I just call, talk to Jane his nurse ( she’s fantastic) and she sends him a message, typically she gets back to me that day or the next day with his response .. If I need to see him I’m fitting into his schedule on his next offices hours at the facility I go to.

But honestly I haven’t needed to call him for many years, I have on hand heavy hitters like zyprexa , Haldol etc if I need to snow myself under and he’s fine with that.

Well I have called my T between sessions less than 10 -11 times in 9 years, probably 4-5 were calls he told I had to make. I don’t want to be a “ bother “ yes I know , he would never think of me as a bother, it’s one of my struggles “ being a burden” I have his cell and even Home number , I only called his cell once because he called me and insisted I call him. Hell NO I would never call his home number. I dunno.. even when I get bad I can usually just keep it semi together by thinking okay well I’ll see Richard on X days.

He has kinda scolded me for not calling at times when I see him and tell him how I’m doing. But hell he knows if I were to call I’m a hot mess.

He’s only working 3 days a week and I had to go to every 2 weeks .. so sometimes I’ll think Oh Shyt it’s gonna be X days.

I’m very happy with them both, I’m going to be sad when they both retire

I’m very blessed
