Thanks @tyme for thinking of my. You are always so wonderful and compassionate. I wish I could duplicate you so more of you could be in the world.
thats a hard decision, hmmm, I see your dilemma here. Especially with your GP’s knowledge of your situation. It sounds like it would be ideal to keep her but it’s very expensive to see her for every time you want a script.. $100 just for a script is a lot! Wow!
Hmmm, An idea that I thought of was maybe you could arrange to have the instruction’s for your medication to be transferred to another standard bulk billing GP who you like and trust and then see the your current doctor on an “as needed” basis for more complex mental health needs when they arise.
I think if you communicate this with the GP’s then there should not be issues between you going back and forth between both as needed. I agree that It’s very expensive and I think it’s reasonable that you dont want to pay that high price for a simple script. You could have a very nice dinner for two at a restaurant and have money left over for that price! I know there are bulk billing GP’s where you just do a quick Telehealth for them to re do your script. Maybe you could keep seeing your current GP until you can sort out a bulk billing agreement like that?
I think we all have the right and ability to make decisions that are in our own best interests. I say do what you feel is best for you!
So glad that I finally have a good support person who is going to help find me a bulk billing GP. But then they are also going to find me a good psychiatrist to help me
with the actual nitty gritty so to speak. The Psychiatrist will give instructions to the GP.
