My medical provider has taken me off a particular medication over concerns of interactions with another medication. I have agreed, but I'm deeply afraid this will cause a decline in my condition. She did tell me to speak with her about it again in 2 to 4 weeks, so that may be enough time to tell whether it'll be okay.

The doctor I saw at the addictions clinic recommended I go to a detox facility. However, when asked she refused to fill out the forms I needed to get paid time off work. Without those forms, I can't afford to take time off. I was told it was a policy not to fill out such forms for patients, which sounded bizarre to me. It has caused me to become despondent over my struggle. I may have to seek a referral to a different clinic, as there are two other options in my area. But I'm rather pessimistic about it. I can't ask my medical provider to do it, as she's a nursing practitioner and the forms need to be filled out be an actual doctor.
