Need advice please (info below).

@NatureLover I'm not sure about the meds change, he said I'd have to change them because my side effects just randomly came rather than when i started this dosage, like all of a sudden. hard to explain. but he said that they shouldn't have done that and that I probably wouldn't be able to tolerate them and try something else. I was on a higher dosage of this one but I had to go back down because I felt terrible.

I guess its common to change meds, some people try 7 or more before they find the right one.

@CheerBear oh thank you, thanks for the kind words. Yes I hope I didn't annoy him. My parents just said that he could've been busy or had a bad day or maybe unwell (not the virus maybe a stomach bug or something). I hope he's ok either way. So I don't know how to feel really, I feel a bit better but also anxious.

I can't remember the name of the prescription and I can't say it here anyway, but I remember him telling me to start on a small dosage, and take it from there I think he said, it was mostly talking about the Nurse and saying I should do things (I know he's trying to help but I've explained to him that its a hard situation and a lot to look into and consider, not just lately with the virus).

So I had to email someone at the Telehealth company to forward my questions onto him.

Also @CheerBear , just curious if you read the 1st post on this thread of mine? It was about what happened with the Nurse, if you'd like to read it. No big deal, just incase you were wondering what happened, sorry its long aswell as the post I just wrote and before

@Bezak482 sorry to hear that they wrapped up quickly.

I see my psychiatrist through Telehealth anyway and have since the first time I saw him, can't say the company name because of rules here. But he's in Sydney and I'm in Victoria so thats also why

@Former-Member , seems like a pretty good appointment overall. I am so happy he was disgusted in the nurse's behaviour and rightly so. Sounds like he might of been a little unwell today, so glad he didn't cancel your appointment if that's the case. I don't think it had anything to do with you, he just sounds unwell. Fingers crossed the new meds are effective. Sending you huge hugs and lots of love my friend

@Former-Member - well yeah I guess the appointment was good. It started the way it usually does, he goes "hey (my name, can't say it here because of rules)), can you see and hear me ok?" And I always say "hi, yes". Then he asks me how I've been since we last spoke, then I told him about this rude Nurse, and as I mentioned in the above post, he just said it was all wrong and he doesn't condone that and he's sorry that it happened.

I told him I feel more depressed and more you know (I'm sure you get what I mean, don't want to say it here to break rules). And he was writing everything down, like he always does. But normally he has a straight face, he looked a bit angry (at the Nurse I assume) and was trying to write stuff down in a hurry but he asked me to repeat what I said, and I said "sorry I'm talking fast, I'm just anxious. I do this a lot". But yeah he just said it's unacceptable and I should complain.

I wonder if he's going to do anything with his notes or contact the Nurse, or if the Nurse contacts him, if anything will be done.

I have a feeling this Nurse is going to call my Mum again or even my Psychiatrist because I won't be turning up to the appointment I'm supposed to have with the Nurse on the 18th. I'm even worried he'll come around to my house. He better not but my Mum and Psychiatrist will stick up for me. Well my Mum will, I hope my Psychiatrist does.

Sorry for rambling on. Yes he could've been unwell, I hope he's ok. I tried to think a bit better and tried to reassure myself, as did my parents.

I said to my parents he probably needs to prepare himself for seeing me, probably has Vodka in his glass instead of water or something strong to prepare for me, since I'm such a handful. I was saying it in a joking way not insulting him but it's probably true

@outlander that's true, it could all be a possibility. Thanks for the reassurance.

Yes he's always supportive, I just feel like I annoy him. You know, getting him to do my prescriptions for me (which he can do as a Psychiatrist but a GP should be doing that too), but he has to and I tell him this because it's the only way I'll get them.

I tell my GP (I haven't seen her in months because I'm just wasting my time and they're only doing phone calls, last time the call with her went for literally 3 mins and I couldn't hear her because she had me on speaker) that he said to prescribe me a certain med and dosage, and I said call him or fax or whatever you do if you need proof (although he does my Psychiatry letters but that usually takes a few days for him to do, he hasn't done some for the last few sessions but I think he just forgot or it's because he seems to be working from home, I don't know, could be a few reasons).

Anyway the GP just says "speak to your Psychiatrist and get him to prescribe them for you" which I say "I do and he says that you as a GP should prescribe them for me, plus you're closer, he's in a whole different state and he has to send them in the mail for me when I can just see you and get them the same day, is it that hard?" but she still refuses and I told my Psychiatrist this. I know that she needs proof but seriously thats a joke, am I right?

He said he'll write to her and say that too. I hope no drama comes out of that, but if it does then it does, he has a right to say that just like I do. I feel like he has to do so much for me and I say this to him
