I am so upset right now I'm fighting off six milligrams of xanax, more than enough to knock me off my ass since I haven't taken it in months -- except the few days I've spent hiding under the covers.
Now I'm trying to find the names and license numbers of my night mare therapists to file a formal complain against them. Seems maybe better than dringing the nail polish remover which is the only thing beyond drano that is available to me now. Problem is, I can no longer find the sites that lists california license holders. And my husband, who cna write code that makes a Non-Stop Kernal make coffee with cream and sugar is totally useless when it comes to actual research. Would anyone here have a few minutes to offer to find those sites for me? If you email me at babbler39 at excites dot com, I'll give you the names. I want names, licenses, dates -- and whether they licence is actually current. So far, the one I've was cancelled before she started treated me. At least one of them -- the one who told me that A. antidepressants don't cause weight gain, they're just like birth control pills you gain weight from eating bon bons on the coucha all day, and B. I don't need meds, I need to go to some church of hte latter day moron -- is an intern with fewer than six months practice bey the time she got ot me. Please, someone help me. The only thing keeping me going is knowing that I want ot write to tell htem just exactly whoat hell I've gone thorugh from them.
Tell me again, first, why it makes so much sense to try me on a new drug that they've told me they don't wthink will will and hten make my hnext app0ointmnt ten weeks out?
Please, somone help me?

Just back from the ER. Not EPS thsi time. This time around, instead of what they promised on the telephone -- someone to talk to -- theo nly offer was an antipsychotic.

I have the license numbers. I'd still like some help. You've all heard most of it, so anything you can add to what's happened, please -- think it of it as a life saving effort -- because it mostly is.
I just can't take any more of this shit

If anyone can find anything I've written since starting with this nightmare, please post links so that I can write my complaint
Also, how do I find out what hospital doctors can admit me to?

Today was my eval with a private doctor. It was very stressful, I came *this* close to cancelling on the way there, the cost was truly stunning, I'm not particularly comfortable with my new prescription -- but at least I have something I didn't have last week: a little hope.
Thank you, Shar, for your links. The .pdf on the med board site was actually broken when I tried to open it, but I managed to get a copy printed out in the end. The other links are all new to me, and I'll be checking them in more detail when I'm a little calmer. I've looked them over with what I have in me right now, and I think there's some very helpful info. Thank you.
And for everyone: thank you. A lot of people either posted links or emailed me, and regardless of anything else, just the amount of caring shown has really made a difference.
Shar, you wanna drop me an email? Got a ?? for you, maybe...
