Or maybe once every two weeks is just enough

I see my pdoc once every 3 months. It’s mostly just to get my prescriptions at this point. It is plenty for me.

I don’t even see my pdoc anymore.

She put my prescription on repeat at the pharmacy so it automatically gets repeated.

I don’t have a psychiatrist or a psychologist. Right now I’m just going it alone, and it seems to be working fairly well

Sometimes I do wish I had a therapist, but I can’t afford it right now

I see my psychiatrist every 2-3 months but previously I saw my psychiatrist every 2 weeks then every month. Then you get the idea.

Alone? How do you get your meds?

My family doctor handles all my prescriptions

The doctor I get prescriptions from (once a month) is different than my pschologist…

Yeah, I don’t see anyone that I actually “talk problems out with”. No therapy or anything like that. It’s mostly just a few questions from the pdoc(the same ones every time) and then I’m given prescriptions.

For me my psychologist helps a lot with the voices by reminding me there not real and even helping with my delusions…

I see my pdoc usually every 2 weeks but sometimes ever 4 weeks. Depends if med changes are made or not

I receive a lot of mental health care: individual therapy, group therapy, case management, peer support and psychiatry. I have at least one appointment per week for something mental health related. But I only see my pdoc once every other month

Is it because you got progressively got better or just never have seen a therapist/psychologist

Pdoc meaning… Primary care doc?

I’m supposed to be seeing him once a week. Lately, he’s taken a lot of vacation and rescheduled patients (not just me), as he juggles private practice and a state job. I feel passed over because now at least once, sometimes twice a month he cancels. Getting tired of it. Kinda tired of him too. I sense a theme…

My next appointment is may 26th . I guess once a month.

Sorry to hear that . Hope it gets better for you.

Are you good with going only once every two or three months? Is it because you progressively got better and no longer needed every two weeks?

I see my pdoc every month and my therapist every two weeks.

Been doing that for a few years.

I could probably see both less, but I don’t want to mess with it if it’s working.
