so i med with my shrink yesterday (thursday) he told me he was very sorry that we went through all this bla bla bla but he will not be able to write a script for buprenex because "the DEA will be at his door"
His recommendation was to check into the hospital at Mclean and see what they think...
now first of all what kind of money does this guy think i have just to take a little trip into boston to check into a hospital that my insurance would find many reasons not to pay for
second
why should i have to check into the hospital just to get a script for buprenex instead of having to go through ECT. from my perspective, however scewed it might be, ECT seems just a tad more serious than buprenex.third
at the end of the session i told him that it seemed that there was nothing left for me to do so he told me he thought i should get a second opinion. I've been seeing this guy for a year and that's what he tells meluckily i have an appointment today with a women who comes recommended. Some time ago i went through a bunch of tests on the brain, and reactions to light and all sorts of stuff. Of course the doctor never told me what the results were except "my head seemed to be screwed on backwards" and i should go off all my meds to do the test again. which was extremly expensive.
this doctor who i am going to see tonight, her name is Eileen Difrancesco, M.D.
Board of psychiatry and neurolgy
Board certified psychopharmacologista friend of mine from a columbia outpatient group really liked her
it doesn't matter, but it's nice to at least imagine for the chance of meeting someone who might bring some hope
the other morning i was sitting on my girlfriend's coach (she is really supportive) and i was trying to breathe really carefully cause i didn't want to start crying all over the place
it's just so gross. When i look back and watch how the dominos how continued falling, even if there is a break now and then, from 25 years of age till now 33, my mom who is really wonderful can only hold on to helping me for so much longer till i'll be on disabillity, which is another struggle in itself. they denied me the first time but they do that to everyone so i'm told.
it's hard not looking back and seeing through the window when i was working full time as an actor, in plays, so i was supporting my self through being a waiter, but still.....
