The nurse has yet to call me back! I'm so mad I want an answer even if its no. I'm trying to do things the right way but this is ridiculous, I don't want to sink lower and end up in the hospital.

I'm so glad that you are doing this through the dr and getting the help you need before stopping meds or having things get completely out of control. I know (oh how I know) that waiting is hard but you are doing the right thing. If you don't hear today call tomorrow and emphasize that this is going to become an emergency if you don't get help soon but an emergency is preventable at this moment.

Call back again and ask them when you should expect a return call. Sometimes it can take more than one call to light a fire under them.

When you call its just get an answer machine asking name, date of birth, phone number, and problem. I know they are busy but this sucks. I can't even get an appointment with t until the 31st.

Omg I so hate that! It makes me feel so ignored and unimportant, or they are just looking at Facebook or on another break or something ignoring the phones.

I'm sure they are busy, but....

Just being nosey, what is the call about? Sorry if I missed something. But yea, I hate waiting around for them to call and answer your question/change your meds ect. Most of the time I end up doing the changes myself and tell my pdoc about it at the next appt. No that's not what I'm advising but it will bother me until I change it myself.

My husband called everyone he could thinkof except my t. It was no help nurse hasn't called back yet. He called to see if t had any appointments that we can go to. I'm joking more and more about sui. I took a kolotopin. Last night I was up crying so I slept the whole day. It feels like I have a heavy block on my chest. So I've been gasping for air. I have nothing to commit sui with. I'm checked on here more then the hospital would. This sucks.

But the hospital has meds you don't have. So maybe you should go while you still have the choice?
