Thanks to all for your kind words of support.
To my pleasant surprise I got an appointment with a new psychiatrist for the 28th of Nov. That's pretty fast for a new patient, especially considering the holiday next week.
The psychiatrist is someone I know, too. He helped me a lot when he was on call over the weekend and during off-hours. In October he was the on-call psychiatrist for an outpatient program I was in, and he straightened out all of my prescription boondoggles while my regular psychiatrist was ignoring my phone calls.
Not only that - the new guy told my regular shrink to be sure to call me, and he too got ignored !
Good grief. Anyway, my regular MD, who is an excellent doctor (knew him since he was pre-med!) talked me down and took a bunch of blood for various things - he knows that I get a lot of peace of mind when I'm being thoroughly checked for anything wrong.
All I have to do now is get through Thanksgiving without throwing the gravy boat across the table.
Wish me luck on that one,
Reggie BoStar
