GP refuses to help with psychotropic Rx & tests

[Cammy]

I recently saw a psychiatrist who prescribed a psychotropic med. He also gave me a lab requisition and told me to get tested every few weeks. He told me that if I am not in the therapeutic range to keep increasing the meds by 50mg until I am in the range. He also told me that the therapeutic range is clearly written on the lab report.

So, I relayed all this information to my GP so that she could monitor my drug levels and let me know if I'm in the therapeutic range or not. I was shocked when she had a class A hissy fit in front of me saying that it wasn't her responsibility and the whole thing was unacceptable. I pointed out to her that the range was on the results so all she had to do was read the test results and compare it to the chart. Nope. She refused to help me. Can you believe that? So I had to phone the psychiatrist and explain my situation and what happened, asking him to send a letter to my GP. I also told him that this is not the first time she's acted this way with me. So what does the psychiatrist say? He promised he would send her a letter, and he recommended that I find a new doctor ASAP. It was beautiful. This woman has been abusive to me for the past few years and this time my husband was there to witness it. Plus, the psychiatrist thinks I should get away from her. I feel SO validated, finally. The things this woman has put me through is almost unbelievable, and then after she loses it she pretends it never happened. I am SO glad my psychiatrist now understands that she is the one that needs to see him more than I do. Karma, sweet karma.
