Question:
i am supposed to be a therapy but i didn’t want to go got there but didn’t get out of the car why do people who do not have a mental illness have the luxury of not focusing on there problems and going for more than two weeks pretending there not there—but if i want to do the same thing i am called non-compliant i take my pills–i don’t bother anyone–try not to break any laws if i know about them–meanwhile if i don’t go to therapy i get kicked out of the counciling center and can’t see my doctor–i guess they figure you are better off without medication if you can’t go to therapy (actually i know it is a money thing but it just seems like they don’t care)—i wish i had my own perscription pad–who needs the stupid doctors "i will not comly"–7 of 9 tertiary adjunct of unimatrix one (intergalactic space-babe)
Response:
Hi Diane, That must be frustrating to think they don’t care. I would tend to think they don’t care too much. You’re probably right it is a money thing for the most part but it is also a way for them to check up on you. Well I hope you go just for therapy sakes. It certainly doesn’t hurt other than maybe in the pocket book. I don’t know. Best Of Luck Rob
Response:
Hi Diane, I never really had much use for therapy either. It was just something I had to sit through to get my prescription refilled. These days I don’t go to therapy any more. I just call in for refills or get my family doctor to issue them. Don’t get me wrong I think some forms of therapy can be beneficial. For example therapy with a psychologist who can help you to better deal with your symptoms. But I don’t really think psychiatrists are very good at or trained for therapy. They just need the basic information they need to know to decide if any changes in your medication are warranted. That’s about it. They really are pill-pushers and, as such, they serve a very useful purpose but they shouldn’t try to move outside of this function. Some people find talk therapy helpful but personally I’d rather keep my problems to myself or discuss them with my wife or on the newsgroup. It’s very unfortunate that you get cut off from your medication if you don’t go to therapy. Can’t you just call in for refills? That’s what I do. Maybe your family doctor could refill your prescription if you don’t have access to your psychiatrist. Take care, Frank.

—— Was also a big waste of time for me and only drove this old boy over the edge in having to sit through lectures when all the time the doc had no idea what to do about our disorder but still had to play hero with our head. got kicked out anyhow. Last day of therepy we were told that we had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder because of what our grandparents were packing in their jeans and that only pissed me off as that did not do us any good if that was true or not, so I said "Hell doc, kind of late to go dig the sumbitch up and kick his ass for fooling around too much."

Hi Diane, For about 15 years I got a prescription for Stelazine from a general practioner rather than a psychiatrist. I visited him just once, at the start, when I explained what I wanted & showed him an old prescription bottle to prove that I used it before & how much. He asked me a couple questions & that was it. Three minutes max. After that first visit, I never saw him again about it. I merely phoned his receptionist when I needed a refill, & someone in his office phoned in the refill authorization to the pharmacy. So if you want only a prescription & not psychotherapy, I believe it’s possible to get that. I have also met specialists in internal medicine who were willing to prescribe antipsychotics without doing psychotherapy.

– My mom is being treated by the family MD rather than head doctors for depression and anxiety as well has hallucinations. PAXIL has taken care of most of this and has never had the need to be in therepy which would be a waste of time, people really need to examine who is giving therepy today as many in this part of California are having their head filled with new age stuff no different than if they had belonged to a cult and reprogrammed by them.

Response:
Hi Diane! Right now, try some breathing exercises maybe. That one where you breathe in slow and fill up and hold your breath, and then push the air out, right down to the last millilitre. Try looking out of a window for a while. Oh I don’t know. Just hope your ok.

Hi Diana, My first psychotic episode I stayed in a Heath clinic for 3 months and they experimented on my with sizordinol and trilifon. Then all the symptons disappeared and I was given a small dose of pimozide which has no side effects for me. When I was normal again the clinic started to irritate me and I couldn’t stand the depressed (they considered themselves normal compared to the schyzo’s ) and I left the clinic immediately. For years now, I have been reporting to my doc using emails every three months or so and he then send me a fax with prescription for my meds.

The most over-used word in my Chart is probably "Non-compliant" Funny to think of it since I’m now SO compliant after my last scary humbling crack up. One of my docs once said if I didn’t agree to take medication number 90 in my long list of "tried and became non-compliant" she was going to "Have no more to do with me" I guess docs get frustrated too. sp
Response:
Hi Diane… I’m non-compliant too. Suffering from loss of income and eviction plus a few other "little" problems I found that my irregular heart beat responded to anti-anxiety medication. So now…..right in the middle of moving my stuff to storage and hearing things from social security and trying to plan for the future I’ve been told by the nice folks at the crisis center that being as I found a place that would see me (after six referrals)….I was passed on six times?….that unless I enter day care I won’t get any more meds. I plan to have a very very bad time with anxiety. If thats what it is. Almost every other beat was skipping. I was told it damages your heart to go through that. I plan to continue to move my stuff ito storage and to address my daily problems. If this should cost me my life so be it. I believe I’ll manage. Funny they want to take away the normal life experiance I want to achieve so they can play doctor and go "ewww…" over my feelings. I am different from you. My problems are not like yours. If they don’t return my social security then maybe in another city I will fall into some program so I can eat and sleep in a safe place. They found out they overlooked my work effort in 1988/89 immediately after I finished college…it was an attempt to get back on my feet but I didn’t make it. They say I no longer qualify for OLD AGE benefits either unless I pay them back all the money from the interveneing years. 93,000 dollars.Imagine? Hope they change their mind. Yeah I’m non-compliant….THEY’RE non-compliant not me. They have it backwards. I’m serious as hell. From my point of view they screwed up my records and now i’m being tortured to pay for their paperwork mistake of over ten years ago. I have to be tortured and possibly face death by heart attack because of their sins. If they could find a crucifix they’d use that. Until I die….I am non-compliant. I will not foster their insanity. Oh and good luck with the med game. Damo
