So,
(Hi btw)
I found out recently that my psychiatrist is on leave until further notice, which sucks - he was awesome - and I can't get an appointment until December 1. Problem: My Dexedrine is overdue for refill.
So, I present to urgent care psych in another county in the area I live in. This bitch shrink insults my MD for having me on Dex and Nardil at the same time (even though I invited her to review some literature), and I told her that she had no idea how resistant I'd been (depression) or how bad my ADD is.
She also said that I shouldn't be on Xanax either; and I said I'd been on the same dose for years and so has my Mom - and she said, without knowing Mom, that *she* shouldn't either. I said, oh, so you're a benzophobe too? What would you have us take? .. Surprise! An antipsychotic! I swear, these types are all the same..
She went on to suggest that perhaps there was something else wrong as a reason for my resistant depression and I said, oh, so, let me guess - you think I have Axis II pathology and she said most likely yes. This was after a 20 minute interview.
F*ck that bitch.
I am so glad my new doc will continue me on my meds; and I found out all I need to do is go to the psych urgent care clinic in my own county tomorrow and they will refill my Dex until appointment time. :-)
Doing exceptionally well on:
Nardil 45mg b.i.d.
Dexedrine Spansules 15mg @ 8am and 12-1pm
Xanax 1mg 1-2 tbs. prn
Ambien CR 12.5mg prn
... and need a testosterone lab before that's resumed.Hope all are well. =)
