New Doc

So, the appointment today? I don't know. First of all, this is a reschedule- he decided that he wasn't working on the day my first appointment was scheduled. Today, I sat around for 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. I hate that. My time is also valuable. So, I met with him, we talked for 15 minutes, and he changed my meds- different formula on my antidepressant, upping the dose of Lamictal (Phoebs, you should go to med school.).

I see him again in a month. If he's late or cancels, I'm finding a new doctor.

Oh, and I filled the new prescription today. On the bottle is a sticker that says, "Take with or without food." I had no idea that there might be another choice.

I agree with you - I hate people who are late. We have stuff going on and our time is important! Anyway, I hope it goes better on the next appointment. Oh, and everyone from UMass says hi - I saw a lot of people this past weekend.

"take with or without food" - that's as good as the sleeping pills that come with the sticker "may make you drowsy" i agree, you're time is valuable and for him to disregard that only shows a lack of respect - one more strike and he's out!

I'm hungry. Hey, if you ever go off of Lamictal, can I have the rest of yours? Cause that's what I take for my epilepsy. And it's wicked spendy. Making you wait=BAD!

Making a patient wait -- seems so inevitable that it happens these days; and yet seems so unacceptable. I don't know if I told you but I got a diagnosis of Cyclothemia and an prescription for Topomax. It was awful the first month I could NOT stay awake but seems to be doing the trick now. I go back to therapy on Monday. We'll see how that goes. One day at a time. Good luck with the new mix!
