My psychiatrist is being replaced by an NP because they don’t cost as much. I will miss my psychiatrist because she had many years of experience and had the calm, in control air that relaxes you.

Your GP is prescribing?

Yes my gp but he can only increase my dose and not prescribe new psych meds. Everytime I request a pdoc he closes my file after one apt as he says I am too stable. I need to wait 8-12months and pass a phone interview about the severity of my symptoms everytime I need to see a pdoc. Maybe you have a pdoc cause you’re on Clozapine

I have a new psychiatrist I have never met in person. I have had one phone appointment with him. Right now I have forgotten his name. I get one appointment a year.

Yeah
I had one had before that though
Thanks to my cousin’s contacts.
I was having trouble too at the beginning to get one.
I heard the main keywords nowadays are to say you are feeling suicidal to get someone, as screwed up as it may sound.

Only one appointment a year? Where you from?
I have a better one now, he said i could lower my dose & i said it would be better in the morning and he agreed, i am hoping i can cut my meds again, i’ve been taking 50% less dose in the morning & i am less tired, more energy etc.
My previous p/doc re-diagnosed me then dropped me when covid struck 
left me for dead & i ended up hospitalised again.
