My medication finally arrived so hopefully a couple days of being on full dose as opposed to a third of the dosage will help to improve my mood. Called the hospital i was in to see if there was any way I could see the t i spoke with while there. NO WAY he only deals with in patients. Can't afford to go in patient or I'll loose any chance of getting custody of my grandbabies so DD's alcoholic hubby doesn't get joint custody. Going to call Londons comp care tomorrow and see if I can switch from ours here in town to theres. I've gotten no help from the t i've been seeing for the last year plus or from the pdoc for that matter. When I asked him if he would change my t he refused. I'm just a depressed mess.

Oh hon, I am so sorry you are dealing with this!! When you called about the in-patient T, did you ask if they could recommend someone? If he only sees in-patients, there ought to be someone he sends them to after they get out of the hospital?? You would think right??? I would call and see if they will give you some names of people to call. Don't tell them that you are already seeing someone. I hope the new meds start working quickly for you!!! Good luck with your custody battle. Your grandkids are lucky to have such a loving grandma who cares enough to want to have them full-time!! It really takes someone special for that. As hard as it is to believe, not all grannies want to be moms again!! Keep your chin up and let us know how you do on the new meds!! Hugs, Erin

(((Keitha))) I have no new ideas to share. Sorry): Coming from a rural area, much like you, I am in the same posistion. I lost my pdoc because she relocated. I am seeing my dd's *t* as needed. The mental health care is virtually non-existent here. If
