As some of you know I moved out of state. I've been working on getting medical issues such as picking out new doctors all taken care of. So I found a family doctor and he referred me to a psychiatrist to take care of my bipolar meds.
Well, Its been over a month and I still don't have an appointment to see the psychiatrist. I called the place right away and they said I had to see a counselor first eventhough my doctor reffered me and even though I've already seen a psychiatrist in the past. So I went to the counselor and she did all the standard questions. Then she said I had to see her again in a week before I could make an appointment to see a psychiatrist.
So I went to that appointment yesterday and I still can't make an appointment the with the psychiatrist. And she keeps saying how its a long wait to see the psychiatrist. Not because of the process of seeing her but because they are scheduled about a month out. Well, if that's the case why doesn't she just schedule that appointment now and see me during the wait.
Now the most frustrating part is yesterday she said I had to come back in two weeks and she still wouldn't schedule me to see the pdoc. So in two weeks I just might be able to schedule the appointment to see the pdoc. That means its going to be another month and a half before I see the pdoc.
I'm pretty sure I need a med adjustment seeing as I just started them back in march and have been slowly increasing the lamictal. The last Pdoc said we weren't done. So it will have been five months since the last time I saw a Pdoc.
