OK, I found out the cost to see THIS same psychiatrist without having insurance, and it's do-able. I am a person quite set in her ways and hate the thought of trying a new clinic. Also, while it is true that my family doctor can prescribe the zoloft, he was the one who sent me to this psychiatrist for evaluation to determine if this was the correct medicine for me. Judging how this episode effected me and the fact that I had at least a couple short periods of depression lately, I think I would like to find out if the medicine needs "re-vamping". So I made the appointment for Monday. I will simply pay the bill and after that see if the family doctor will continue the medicine.

By the way, the part that got me extra riled up was that I just received a bill for failure to call to cancel an appointment without the necessary 48 hours notice. WELLLLLL....considering that I did call on Sept 9 to cancel a Sept 14 appointment, I was royally P!$$ED off. I truly HATE this office and its personal, but I like the doctor. It will almost certainly be my last visit there.


note to self and to everyone........ALWAYS write down WHO you talk to and WHEN, even if you think there won't bea a problem!!!
