Finally, my g/f's pdoc came back to town. (She is not really a doc - she is a psychiatric nurse practioner.) Her father died, so she left for a week. Katy ran out of her antispychotic she called the office and their was a message with a different contact for emergencies. She called that woman. No one called her back. She then ran out of her lamitcal. She called again, a little more frantic this time, still no one called her back. Three days without any meds and I called, her nurse called me back and apologized. Wanted to see both of us we went on Tues. It was bizarre. The woman stopped Katy's medication. She said, well if you haven't been taking it then we will just start you on something new. If I hadn't BEEN there, I wouldn't have believed Katy if she came home with this story. And this is the same person that when I called hysterical two months earlier said that in order to adjust these medications Katy would have to be hospitalized. Anyway, they put her on a totally different medication that has to be built up. I said, um what about her auditory hallucinations? Can she just stop these other meds. Well, she says, that is why I will need to see her in two week. Are you fucking kidding me?? As if we will both be a live in TWO WEEKS!!! As predicted. It is not good. I could tell she was trying very hard to control it until last night and then it just all goes to shit. This is worse then BP - this is messing with the chemicals in her brain that are all screwed up. She is completely irrational. UGHGHGHG!!!!!!!! I had an appointment with a new therapist for Friday, and a real psychiatrist for Monday. I had to cancel those appointments because it would have been $300. We used the $300 we had on the other two worthless appointments at the begining of the week and had an unexpected car problem that took a big chunk of money. I can't play with the mortgage.... Anyway, I rescheduled for the 11th with them. I tried to not set her off. But it doesn't really work that way now. EVERYTHING sets her off. Now I feel like we are back to the begining. Actually WORSE then back at the begining. Back and now she is screwed up from suddenly stopping her medicaitons. I just don't get it. How can they do that????? And after this SAME person said it was too dangerous just two months ago when she wasn't even on the higher doseage like she is now? Katy has been doing everything she was told. She goes to her appointments, she takes her meds (when she has them!) and she has been on board. In a matter of 24 hours, now she isn't and doesn't want anything to do with it. I KNOW she isn't rational, but how can she be right now?? I am so pissed. She is taking the new medication but of course, that isn't a theraputic dose so it's doing NOTHING! You have delighted us long enough.
