I switched insurance a couple months ago. Durring that time I ran out of my anti-depressant (about one month ago) and greatly lowered the dose on my anti-psych. I found a new psychiatrist, finally.
I saw him for the first time last week. We decided to switch the anti-psych med due to very embarrassing side effects (a man growing boobs is a great joke, but really terrible in real life...dont worry Im not a D cup or anything, so dont picture the big guy from fight club) and he put me back on a low dose of zoloft.
The psych Im switching to though, he only gave me some sample boxes. Enough to last me 2/3 of the way till our next apt. He also told me to call and check in, in case of side effects. So i call, and the #####& doesnt call me back!
I dont have any side effects, but its the trust that was broken. He asked me to check in, then he just pisses off? What a joke. My last two doctors had been scumbags, now I have a flake.
My symptoms have slowly been coming back. A little voice here, a dab of paranoia there, and ive been symptom free for a damn year. Its nothing I cant handle at this point, but how long before I end up back in the hospital?
Im getting very tired of this negligence. None of these people care about the people they look after. Thats why most schizophrenics commit suicide within 72 hours of seeing their doctor.
I bet a lot of them had been in my place at one point. Maybe months before death, maybe years. I dont want to be like that. I just want a little respect from this person that is supposed to be working with me on this.
How am i supposed to trust someone who doesnt keep promises? That session with him was the first time I felt like a doctor gave a $#%^. Wow, maybe im overreacting. I think ill just switch between being understanding of his busy schedule, and hating how he dismissed me like that. Not a good plan, but thats most likely what will happen.
