Hello,
I know how hard it can be to get up the motivation/strength to deal with all the crap to get what you need to feel ABLE to deal!
First off, do you have the phone number of your pdoc's new practice? If not, I'm sure you could find it on www.whitepages.com. You could try to call the new office & explain your situation to them. It is possible your pdoc may be willing to call in some Wellbutrin to the pharmacy until you can get in to see her. If you feel this is too much for you right now, do you have an advocate (a spouse, friend, relative, etc.) to help you out, maybe make the call for you? And if it is called in, is there someone that can go pick it up for you/go with you? These things can help a lot.
I know it's rough when you feel like you have so little motivation, but the concerned tone of your questions reveals that you must have motivation to get that script--the motivation to feel better. Don't let yourself (the self that is without medication right now) or anything else stand in the way of that. If the Wellbutrin works for you and you CAN obtain it one way or another, I'd consider that a blessing to hold on to! Please don't concern yourself with any time periods of "slipping back" when you CAN move forward! Good Luck!!
Best,
L.> My doctor switched practices and I never signed the proper papers to transfer my records to her. So I never made an appointment to go see her to get a refill of Wellbutrin. Now, I'm off, and feeling worse each day.
