Open Question: Help finding an affordable Dr. to treat GAD, no insurance!?
Well in most situations I have it under control, but there are certain stressors or life changes that can trigger it. A week ago I started an internship for grad school working 40 hours a week, plus taking two night classes (and everything else), I had a feeling this might be a catalyst, and I was right on.
The problem is, the Psychiatrist I was going to told me he was leaving to go to London for the year to practice, and he had to leave in a week and a half. Also, he cut me allot of financial breaks, the referrals he gave me were good, but hundreds of dollars over what I can or am willing to pay for 15 min session where he refills my two scripts and sends me away:) (I also do individual counseling with a therapist)
I have ten more weeks of this, there is no way I am going to be able to get through it without my medication and I don't know where to go or what to do. It has to be something I can afford and with someone who trusts me. (I tried local and community agencies but I am not nearly a priority).
So I live around Toledo, Bowling Greeen, Findley, all in Ohio. If anyone knows of anyone, or has any resources or guidance to pass along, Im all ears!
Thanks!
3 weeks ago Additional Details
Oh I forgot to mention the treatment I am recieving now is working great (but then its all ive had) I go to therapy once a week with a counselor, then i see the psychiatrist once a month for 15 min. We talk, then he gives me my two scripts, lexapro and xanax.
It seems to be working really well, then again, the chances of me finding that again are slim, and maybe something would work better. But why fix what isnt broken:)
