I'm clueless too.

My T's phone message on her machine includes the usual Call 911 if it is an absolute emergency and If you need to speak to me immediately you may call my cell phone at...

I usually call in crisis but other times have just left a message. Usually a post-session message because I react after session instead of in session. If it's a crisis I ask for a call back, otherwise I do not.

Her message makes me decide if I need to talk to her immediately. I have only once called her cell (not counting the time I accidentally called it at midnight! eek!) and even then I felt I should not. I do not think I am important enough to have immediate needs, for one. And resisting calling is a way I practice emotional regulation. I'll journal instead and after writing I may call and leave a non-crisis message that we talk about next session.

I'm glad you are okay and that you found out about your medication sooner rather than later
