Unfortunately, due to my financial situation, I have to go to a low-cost clinic.
I get to see my psychiatrist only once a month. He is never available except for the 15 minutes I see him once a month. You cannot cancel an appointment, even ahead of time, without having to go through a long and painful process of re-establishing your psychiatric care; the process includes seeing a social worker, (paying for such visit), and explaining the reason why you missed the appointment. The social workers for this type of problems can only see you two days a week, in a margin of 3 hours in the morning, a time when I am usually at work or in school. So since I had to cancel one of my appts recently due to an important personal reason, I will have to go through this process. I might get to see my psychiatrist in 1-2 months. In the meantime, I can't go up the dose. Yes, it is this hard when you don't have money and need to go to a low-cost clinic with ridiculous rules.
To top it all, my doc doesn't know much about Nardil. He asked me to download the list of restrictions from the Internet and to make sure I followed the diet. But he can't answer too many questions about it. It's rough to be treated under these circumstances.
