g'night :)


What are you taking lorazepam for?
It sedates you, and 'causes you to feel lazy

I don't know how the health system in Ontario is...
but here in Alberta... I just walked into the pysch ward at the local university hospital.

They saw the just how severe I was, and after filling out the forms, I was seen by a therapist within 5 minutes.
After a quick evaluation, I was told to come back at a certain time later that day.

When I came back, the therapist had set up an appointment with the psychiatrist he works with, and they immediatly reviewed and adjusted my meds.

I now see that counselor every week, and he makes psych appointments as needed.

Orginally I had been referred to a psych at that same hospital by my family doctor.
I was told the earliest appointment available was 3 months away!!!
Funny thing is... I was already seeing my counselor at the hospital at least a month before my "scheduled" appointment!!

Maybe if you walk into a clinic first thing in the morning, you can sign up on the "walk-in" list.
Go early though, the list usually fills up fast!
Just tell them you would like to talk to someone (counsellor) today.
They have a certain amount of "walk-ins" they allow a day, so if you can't get an ealier appointment, just go and explain your situation
