I've shared here before, but my therapist is terrible. She decided to cut my zoloft without any warning (I went from 150mgs to nothing. I have been withdrawing like crazy), her best advice is "Don't think about it" or "Don't even start". Should I even bother telling this dolt that my self harming has started again? I have been trying to find a new therapist, but no one takes my medicaid coverage. She is literally all I have, the other is three hours away and my family can't make that commute.
I don't know if it will be worth it. If she will have me sent to a section just because she can and she's god damn clueless, or if I should just keep it to myself. Ugh.

Tell her & demand she listen to you! She should never have just taken you completely off your medicine like that! She is crazy! Any good T knows that you have to ween off the medicine!

Hello
![]() Obviously you need to do what deep inside you feel is best for you and this just my opinion so take or leave how you think best but, have you spoke to your GP? Could you maybe explain situation and see if he/she knows any other options? I'm from the UK so think the set up is a bit different with insurance you have etc but for me, my t is very cheap as he didnt want cost to be a barrier and he is amazing, I trust him and want to open up to him (which id never imagine I could) my concern for you reading your post is that you don't click with her, trust her, like her, so I wonder what positives you get? I think some Ts go into business just for power and fact she just tells you to kind of get on with the withdrawal isn't healthy or empathetic to your needs! Like said in the end it's up to you but maybe weigh out if she causes more negativity than positivity ![]() |

I feel like I am just going to be taken out of the office in handcuffs or something. She's terrible. I am terrified to even bring it up.

Is there a way to see someone else?

would you be open to going to the ER for a refill on the meds? Tell them that she just cut your meds, and they could help ease that transition. They could also try to hook you up with other providers. Have you tried looking for anyone with a sliding scale? I don't have insurance yet, so I searched until I found someone that could go really low with costs. It was a pain in the butt, but I finally found a good resource. Even if you just call 211, they may be able to help. Being sent to a hospital may benefit you at this point in that they can assess you and hook you up with meds. It's not ideal by any stretch of the imagination, but it may be a way to help ease the withdrawals and help you find someone else to start seeing... (also, it would benefit you to take yourself as opposed to her sending you. While you don't have all that much control while there, you have more than if you are involuntary... I ended up going to the ER a few weeks ago on my own and they discharged me after the psych gave me refills. It might be worth a try).

I agree with MdngtRain. If you can go to the ER they may be able to help you with your meds, especially if you are struggling this much. I really would also keep looking into your medical coverage and approach therapists around you. A lot of therapists will work on sliding scales. It can involve a lot of work contacting them and asking but it can be possible.
