I am glad you have not quit your meds outright , that could really throw you down the rabbit whole.
Can you call around and just get on other pdocs lists ? Might as hell have one lined up for the future if he just blows you off about complaints about his phone blocker.
When do you see him next ?? You can always call a walk in clinic and just ask if it’s something they would consider prescribing ?? And then ER , just take your meds bottles with so they can see your not abusing any.
I wish I was there I’d have a chat with his idiot worker, I’d likely drive her to tears and I’d be happy about it. Those people need to experience this hell for a month and see how they handle it !!!

I don't see my GP until I think July...? She also doesn't like to prescribe anything related to psych stuff. She literally has told me in the past about a different psych problem, "You'll have to see your psychiatrist about that. I don't feel comfortable in prescribing this for you because I am not knowledgeable enough in this area to ensure that you will be safe and okay." blah blah blah. I think she means well, though. Maybe she got sued before or something and is a little paranoid. idk.
And yeah, I can call around and find another pdoc. The problem is that other practices either (1.) don't take my insurance, (2.) don't have any openings, or (3.) they say some crap like, "you need to do weekly therapy with us." My current practice has loads of people in it who are already on waiting lists. (This place is quite popular because they accept most insurances, unlike a lot of the other places.)
I see my pdoc on Feb 28th. I don't know of any walk-in clinics here, unfortunately. The ER is an option, yes, but I don't know if I want to spend a ton of money on a non-emergency.
Anyway, that would be hilarious if you talked to this lady. lol. It's not 100% her fault, though. I mean, part of it is, but part of it is my pdoc's fault too. I kinda think she gets paid to be an idiot?
