Ok, what happened? Keep in mind re the calling in the perscription, he is protecting himself from a malpractice law suit.
Why did he hang up on you? Do you have an appointment to see him?

Oh how horrible! I'm so sorry, can you tell us what the heck happened??? You must be so upset right now. . I'm so sorry. . .

why the heck not?

Well on tuesday I had a visit with him and he was angry and said that I lacked initiative because I haven't made much progress with meds in the past couple of years. Then I called him back and left a kind message telling him that I am trying really hard but I'm just having a difficult time right now.

He called me back and said he is frustrated with me because of my lack of progress and I said to him,"Well how do u think I feel?" He gave no reply.

He's never had any trouble callin in prescriptions before

He said to me, "I am closing my practice in march so you'll have to find a new doctor." Then he hung up.

How unbelievably rude. He should at least refill your meds to get you through until your appointment with your new doc.

From the sounds of it, it would be worthwhile for you to look for another therapist.

It also sounds like he's transposing his lack of success in your therapy onto you. That's not your fault though

That pdoc is an asshole. He is not supporting you the way he should be. Have you look for any other's in you area? Do you have health insurance or a family doctor?

OMG! What a jackass!! I'd report him because that was beyond unprofessional

There's only two private pactices in my area. He has one of them. I called the other doctor but I haven't heard from him yet.

The only other place is the community services board but you have to have a therapist there in order to see on of their psychiatrists. I already have a therapist.

I sure hope you can find a therapist that you can relate well to and will be helpful as well.

Personally I would have reported this guy to the medical association for being unethical in what he said to you....but that's just me

Just please, whatever you do, be careful regarding your medications. . which I'm sure you're aware. . you cant just stop them (if, God forbid, you run out) so, if you can't find a new PDoc before your script runs out, you should get in with your primary doc ASAP and make sure he/she gives you your meds until you're settled with another prescriber. The side effects of just stopping (and not slowly weening off) are brutal. Please be careful and best of luck to you. Keep us posted, ok?
