Kim,
That doesn't make any sense at all after what all the others have said. If a DO is a REAL doctor, he or she should be able to give you a scrip. I'm beginning to understand more why I see posts entitled "My Pdoc Died Yesterday" ... once you find a good one, it must be devastating to lose him or her.

> I went to my new DO/Pdoc yesterday. His "welcome to the practice" brochure sounds just like any other doctor. I really did like him. But after discussing my history, he told me that his area of expertise was more therapy than medications and that I really need to find a psychopharmacologist. ARGHHHHH!!

> My med prescription ran out the day of the visit to what I thought would be my new doctor. So now I'm on NO medication with NO Pdoc. And I'm going out of town for a week, so I can't even begin to deal with convincing my insurance company to give me more doctors' names (they only want to give me one name--the next one on their list) and then calling all of them until (if) I find one who considers themself a psychopharmacologist. I've got major social phobia problems when it comes to the telephone, so this will really be an ordeal for me.
