tdoc? I only see pdoc and see her every 3 weeks. Just wondering what is normal. Sometimes it seems like a long time and other times not long enough.

Hi, Missy! I see my family doc (my acting pdoc) once a month for a med check. He has made it clear that I'm welcome to call anytime I need, but if things are good we have that standing appointment once a month. I guess I'm a little odd. I don't have a tdoc just yet. I see him for the first time on the 17th. Nervous!! But I do see a counselor that kinda acts as a tdoc. I see her once a week for marital/parenting counseling (home visits), and once a week for a sexual abuse survivors group. When I was seeing a regular tdoc/pdoc, it was about 3 weeks better visits, too.

It depends on how I'm doing on my medications. I'm still new to this. Sometimes it's every week for awhile. Other times it's every 2 to 3 weeks. I see tdoc every 2 to 4 weeks.

I don't have a tdoc, so I never go there LOL! I see my pdoc every 4 months now (was 3 months until Feb). Of course, if I have a problem, I can see him sooner, but I have been stable on my meds long enough that there isn't much sense in going more frequently.
