Psychiatrist appointment

I rang the psychiatrist place. The soonest appointment I can get is in about a month and a half. It is at 5:00pm on the 11th of September. I am not bothered by this. It is just as well I increased my dose back to 400mg. I take 200mg in the morning and 200mg at night.

I am not going back with mental health services, because it is not necessary. Plus I disliked dealing with them. As long as I take the medication at the dose it was prescribed to me, then my mental state is fine.

My two deliveries, the single mattress and the groceries, have come earlier on. I basically have done what I wanted to today. @Moonbeam @anon9798425 @Ninjastar

I have similar issues with my doc. It’s hard to get in and these days I make appointments every six weeks at least 3 or 4 months ahead. Knowing yourself and your symptoms is a good thing!

@anon26860655 Given that it takes so long to get back in with mental health services and to get an appointment with a pdoc, it seems like it would be a good idea to get in with them now when you’re feeling good so that you have this resource readily available should you hit a rough patch in the future.

A pdoc would be better qualified to advise you on med adjustments than would your GP.

@Moonbeam I made an appointment with a private psychiatrist. The Indian one.

I am not going back to the government community mental health services. They are a service who are for people who are at their sickest, but I feel fine now. Maybe it is a bit confusing.

This is literally the soonest appointment I can get. It is a private psychiatrist. It is not the government services. I am going to a pdoc, and I made an appointment with one. This is the best I can do.

I made an appointment with a private psychiatrist. A pdoc. This is the soonest appointment I could get. They are really busy.

Oh, I see. I misunderstood and thought you were not planning on seeing a pdoc at all. Thank you for clarifying that you’re seeing a private pdoc.

OK. I reread my post. I don’t think I explained it very well. Glad you understand now.

Nah, I think it was clear. I’m just kinda tired and misread it. Time for me to get some sleep. :sleeping:

Good luck, @anon26860655. Sounds like a good move, and that’s great that there was an opening.
