In reply to Pdoc leaving abadoning Patients No Referrals?, posted by Phillipa on August 31, 2011, at 12:34:08
I'm sorry about what has happened to you-- we can all agree that was an awful thing for a doctor to do. I can't give much advice besides that there are pdocs out there who can help you with your situation, although I understand that you've taken much effort in trying to find one already in what I imagine has been a tiresome and difficult endeavor.
When I switched psychiatrists after I moved home from college, it took a few doctors before I found one that would really listen to my past experiences and prescribe Xanax or stimulants. Even providing just a small bit of proof, like a prescription bottle, can show the pdoc that you have indeed taken benzos before.
I was lucky in that my sister-in-law was a nurse and recommended me to a young pdoc who was very smart and open to ideas. Trusted recommendations can be helpful
-I hope the very best for you
