I’ve seen Gerard in the past and he did all he could to help me find help with sleep, anxiety, etc and now I just recently saw him again two days ago and he changed my anxiety medication to one I thought would help me more overall and since the first day/night of taking it I’ve had severe side affects, headache, confusion, coordination issues, muscle stiffness, weakness and am just absolutely miserable, plus still not sleeping for more than 2 hours at a time and I’m going to be working with a pharmacist to taper of these meds finally, but in the meantime it’s Friday and I have talked with a nurse and she sent an urgent message to Gerard and still no word and I am so scared and have extra anxiety that I will be in withdrawal over the weekend or take the medication that pretty much makes me feel like that anyway?!?! I’ve been mostly pleased with the care prior to this… It’s so hard these days with mental health and medication issues and doctors scared to do anything that may cause a red flag. So sad. I just want my life back. I hope to hear from someone soon and will be calling more today until something gets done, as the ER does not consider this as an emergency and do not care and is not what they are for, it’s what my primary and psychiatrist doctor are for!!
