[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 179471, member: 84"] I actually started the process of Nichole handling appointments and getting her scripts filled when she was 17. She's been doing so for 2 yrs. Although is currently not seeing a psychiatrist and not on medications. But is stable and we're trying to see if the mood swings are all blood sugar related. Hard to do when she's on medications. IF it's like it is here, she'll have to go thru the intake process again. Although they might speed it up for her since she has been a patient not that long ago. They did that for Nichole once when she got her appointments all mixed up. She went for the intake, saw therapist the next week, saw psychiatrist the following week. Don't be so sure. If she has her prescription bottle many docs will go ahead and write an emergency script to cover the amount of time for her to get in to see another psychiatrist. been there done that They do it with medications for other specialist too. So it doesn't hurt to try. Unfortunately the only way for them to learn, is to do it themselves. I did gentle reminders with Nichole. I'd mention it, then drop it. No lectures or anything. She got really good at it the last year she was on the medications and seeing psychiatrist. She even caught script mess ups. I was impressed. Hopefully this will get her attention that getting to appointments and such is a huge deal and it won't become a habit. Having to go thru the intake, and go to fam doctor for emergency scripts, and such scared Nichole out of missing any more appointments. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
