Seeing him for the first time since my suicide attempt. Don't want to talk about it at all.
Hopefully, he will listen and give me the meds I need... probably better not to have hope with him though... I'll let you know later how it went....

So I went in, he asked how things were going, I told him I had been hospitalized in February for a suicide attempt, which I then had to tell him how and what happened and all that crap.

So we talk about meds. Viibryd is staying the same, but I told him that I am no longer on the lamictal but thought I needed a mood stabilizer of some sort because the viibryd alone is not enough.

His decision - I'm no longer on Ambien CR because it is one of the meds I od'd on, so he gave me Restoril instead. And no mood stabilizer. He wants me to "try this for now" and see him again in 2 months. Soonest I could get in for another appointment? Two and a half months... gotta love it.

I'm sorry, Nicole. It's a bad situation on both sides. I didn't realized you'd OD'd on meds he'd prescribed. Trust is hard to come by. Did you expect a different result? I don't mean to be mean, I don't--but isn't he taking a chance giving you any sleeping med?

I'm curious why he would drop the mood stabilizer. Seems like an important medication.

I finally took the plunge and started seeing a psychiatrist in a private practice. Even though it's more expensive, it's so worth the time and care she provides. She's actually responsive to phone calls and I can get in whenever I need to.

I hope the Restoril works out okay for you.

I'm fine with the change of sleep meds, and honestly, I've been on Ambien CR in the two months since I od'd and coudln't get in to see him, so really... no big deal.

My issue is that the Viibryd alone is not working, historically Viibryd and a mood stabilizer have worked better, but now he won't give me a mood stabilizer, so I continue to feel bad, the longer I feel bad, the worse I feel, the worse I feel, the more suicidal I get....

This pdoc didn't srop the mood stabilizer, the hospital did. I was hoping my regular pdoc would be smart enough, and listen enough to know that I need it... no such luck.

Ugh, that's super annoying. It's so difficult to be in a position of knowing what you need, and then being denied it.

I'm just tired of everything being a battle. A battle I don't want to fight anymore
