Have you asked your Pdoc if he/she is going to be seeing anyone other than at that facility?

Sorry to hear about that man. I know how tough it is to have to get a good relationship going with a new pdoc. I had to change mine in December and absolutely love my new one more than I did my old one. I hope things work out for you.

the sad thing is that i just got bloodwork done to check my lithium levels and i know i need to have my lithium dosage adjusted nad now i can't even go see anyone to get it adjusted and i am afraid that i will run out of meds before i find another pdoc

my pdoc only works for the center that i went to and now i can't even get any new scripts for meds if i run out

Go to you general practioner and get your meds refilled then look for a new pdoc. I've had to change 3 times for different reasons, I know its difficult to switch. Hang in their.

i don't have a gp either i don't even have a doctor

Sorry bp, I know that probably came as a shock and not helpful to you at this point. Ask them for a referral to another pdoc, that may get you an appt sooner. Dont give up and dont let it become you. I will pray for you and hope you get through this. Hugs

I am sorry that you are going through this, but are you actually saying that this place is giving first priority to LOW income families? That is a switch. So many times it is the low income that end up with no where to go.

bp, I cant believe they can just dump you like that legally. You are under his care and taking meds. Normally they refer to another doctor and give you meds until you get one. I think it is just wrong what they did to you but you will have to come up with some solution to help you through this. Hugs

it said in the letter that i got from them is that they are only helping low income families now and no one else basically saying to me hey ur not important anymore cuz ur not low income that pisses me off soo fuckin much

Well at least it sounds like you have other options. Low income families do not. Indianapolis is a big city with many good hospitals and clinics. I am sure your mother will find you the care you need.

they should have at least given you a 30 day notice... and they knew this was going to happen so they had time to tell you. They should also be refering you to anoughter doctor. When this happened to me the facility decided they were no longer going to see adults. They gave a 30 day notice and made sure that patients had a 30day supply of meds from the day that they no longer accepted adults. On top of that they had a new company that they refered out to. ANd they actually helped in the scheduling.

Obviously that didnt happen for you. Maybe try taking your script bottles to your pcp and ask him to help you maintain your scripts until you can find and see a new doc. If that doesnt work try seeing if you have a crisis center for mental health. We have a couple in arizona and they help with things exactly like this as well as provide inpatient for those that need it to adjust meds or hold you til more suitable placement is found. Its an awsome place and is actually there for people that need it that dont have insurance.

Calm down, call them, and tell them that you need a referral and thank you very much!! lol. I mean what else can you do? It's not worth going over the deep end for.

hmm no gen doc...

well first I would throw a fit... I would go down there and tell them that they have to see you at least one last time put you on the adjusted dosage and then give you a script for a full month AT MINIMUM. They may only be serving low income families but the other posters are right I dont think legally he can just drop you like that. First off your on a medication that if not monitored properlly or if you go off your meds suddenly can cause serious problems. THey agreed to see you as a patient and they have to ensure your safety in their transition. I would go down IN PERSON. And ask to speak to the office manager. Dont even get into it with anyone else lower then that. I would tell her your expectations and if they refuse to treat you or help you transition then we can brainstorm new ways to find you the help you need

Its a bastard! U would think mental health institutions would be a little more thoughtful..apparently not..Get a referral letter..I had to..change of address..they just pass u on to the nearest available place..insensitive, cold n callous, but not worth losing it over..good luck..
