I see a therapist every week and she kept trying to fall asleep during our session. She did apologize and explained she had taken some cold medicine. I felt like I could have just rambled while I was driving or sitting at home. I may have to look into another thera;y group. I just don't feel that this group is helping me any at all. I will decide by the end of the year, my insurance will be changing.

Sucks when they have a bad day. Would you have been OK if she'd cancelled?
My t did apologise once when he had a cold. I thought it was cute. He was subdued and didnt have his crispy Dr face on.

Sorry that happened My T has seemed preoccupied before, but never on the verge of dozing off. That would probably upset me.

I would be very angry about that. Is he going to earn his fee or do you have to take your business elsewhere?

Was this just this one occasion? If so, I'd probably let it go. Medication reactions are often unpredictable and completely uncontrollable unfortunately. I could forgive a one-time incident like that and move on.

I don't think the therapist should take money for that. I agree it may have been a one off thing, but I believe the therapist should have cancelled the appointment if they were not up to doing their job or waive the fee.

It could have been that it just didn't hit until that hour. Meds will do that to you. So, cancelling might not have at all seemed even necessary earlier . . . and then WHAM!! . . . the drowsiness hits suddenly like a train. It sucks when that happens. I do agree that perhaps the fee should be dropped. Maybe the OP just needs to ask.

I didn't know certain anti nausea medication makes you sleepy. So I took some at 9am and had to complete a whole day at work feeling like I could pass out at any second. Agreed sometimes things just happen but no she shouldn't charge you since she probably didn't offer much.
