Hi Miguel'sMom. I also think the pill form might be a good option. I don't know what your doctor is willing and able to do, or what your insurance company allows, but I could usually get 5 refills in a pop for most of my medications, other than maybe some controlled substances, which I don't see on your list. That would get you to March for at least some, if not all, of your medications.

If at all possible, try to book an appointment with a psychiatrist asap at your new home location. Even if you go to them once and don't like them at least you have one in the meantime, and could switch soon afterwards. And of course the ER is a last resort option. Many of people have used it for situations such as yours, when a move of home is a factor. That need not mean an inpatient stay, though I think when ER doctors prescribe in such cases they only give a brief supply. Truly, it shouldn't have to come to that unless you do become sick. Becoming sick is NOT an inevitability. It wasn't for me.
