I have been looking back at my chart from my former psychiatrist, what she has done to me. I am able to look at it online and I am just, like, wow, and I was having psych problems?!?! She had me on up to 10 different psych meds at a time, and none of them were working, so she upped my doses. They were so strong, and the toxic range in anyone's blood is over 1000. My range in my blood was over 2100. Seriously?!?! She ordered bloodwork and then after it came back this high, she checked my liver, and it was also highly elevated. The one liver test, the normal range is between 10-35; my value was a whopping 579. Seriously!?!?! I looked a couple days later at my chart. She then increased my meds. Seriously?!?! They were not working, it was a schizo-misdiagnosis. I was on a concoction of meds, and the worst was clozapine. It was such a high dose, I wet the bed every night, no matter how many times I woke up to go to the bathroom. I drooled so profusely, I had to put 4 towels under my face when I slept. I used a plastic mattress cover and a plastic pillow protector. Everything was still ruined. Myself and my parents remember her telling me that I will not live to be 40, that I should just kill myself now. She is a psychiatrist. Seriously!?!? She was not licensed to prescribe the clozapine, so I have no idea how she got away with that. The only reason I know that is because when I tried to change psychiatrists, the head dr of that hospital would NOT refill it; he said only he was licensed to prescribe it, she was not. Seriously?!?!? When I went to change psychiatrists, I had to hire an attorney to see a new one, just so my new one could even know what was happening with me, to see my chart. My old psychiatrist and the hospital refused to hand it over, regardless of the fact that I signed a release form. Seriously??!!? Even then the hospital refused to hand over my full chart, just a few months. Again...SERIOUSLY!?!??!?!?!

What a nightmare! Glad you were able to get at least part of your files, even though, I'm not sure why they wouldn't give them all to you. I hope your new psychiatrist takes much better care of you.

My new psychiatrist is wonderful. The first time I saw him, he only had 3 months of my chart. I was so medicated, I fell asleep every 5 minutes or so. He had to keep screaming at me to wake me up. He said, I am going to take you off of every med you are on and start from scratch, nothing is working for you anyway, you are a mess. I started from scratch, but still nothing worked. At least I stopped wetting the bed and drooling. It turns out it was a bizarre type of petit mal seizures anyway that was causing my schizo, but he wants to wait a full year before he roles that a misdiagnosis. Yeah, my former hospital and psychiatric team really really made errors......

I am waiting until April 2014, then it will be a full year to be considered a complete misdiagnosis by the Geisinger Health System Psychiatric Unit in Danville, Pennsylvania. They did so many bad things, my liver may be ruined, so I am seeing a liver specialist in December in Hershey, as well. I have already contacted an attorney that is known to win malpractice lawsuits against Geisinger and the whole team wants to meet with me in Philadelphia. However, I want to wait until April. Thank you, cool09 for that, I have already looked into it. I want my neurologist who corrected their mistake to become involved, too. She also wants me to file a lawsuit against Geisinger.
