My mother is having bad anxieties and some depression. She moved recently to a safer place and the change set this off. I'd like to get her into a Telehealth therapy. Does anyone have good recommendations? I think she'd rather do a phone call than a video call, but not sure that is out there. Many thanks and all the best to people taking care of Aging Parents.
I don’t want to have to pay a lot of money as Sesame and PlushCare and I would prefer to have my medication mailed to me so it is less fuss for me. Are there places that can accommodate these requests? I don’t want to get sent rat poison as some comments say, so I want it to be legit obviously. You guys were best place to check. Also this is my very FIRST QUESTION on Reddit!
I had a telehealth virtual appt with a new PCP this morning to go over bloodwork and other questions I had. When I joined the call the doctor was in the passenger seat with someone else driving who was present for a majority of the call if not the entirety. I’ve just started with this new PCP and It didn’t really occur to me until after talking to my friend that it was likely a violation of my privacy.
I’m not really sure how to feel or what to do considering there was nothing super embarrassing or sensitive discussed but my friend is telling me it doesn’t matter and the doctor knows what they did was wrong and that I should report it. It is a small practice with I believe only this single doctor and it was referred to me by my insurance.
How do I proceed? I already feel a bit iffy with this doc after he forgot to prescribe me a medicine for my ear and labelled my right ear as clogged in my chart when it was actually my left ear. However I haven’t seen primary care for a while and am just not familiar with norms or if something like that is a common mistake
Like it's embarrassingly slow realisation, the big ones make money selling you the medication so the consult is really just the door to the monthly pills. The doctors might be perfectly nice but the machine only works if you leave with a product and the intake forms only have boxes for specific drugs which tells you everything about whose interests the design serves.
Yeah so I'm thinking about using the site Talkiatry to see if they will prescribe me meds such as Klonopin. I have horrible anxiety and nothing else will work, right now I have been borrowing a few Klonopins from a family member when my anxiety gets so bad I can't stand it and the panic attacks are brutal.
But I'm just wondering is Talkiatry worth it? I would use Medvidi because I hear they will for sure prescribe meds like Xanax and Adderall but I can't afford that and I have pretty good insurance and Talkiatry does take my insurance so it wouldn't cost me anything to see them. I gave them a call and they emailed me a form to fill out and send back to them so I'm gonna do that. But I'm just wondering will I get prescribed the meds I want or what, who here has experience with Talkiatry and has seen them already, I'd love to only hear from those people. Thanks.
TLDR: Considering Talkiatry because it’s covered by my insurance, dealing with severe anxiety and panic attacks, wondering if they typically prescribe medications like Klonopin/Xanax or stimulants like Adderall/Vyvanse, and looking for real patient experiences before booking.
I've used a couple of these messaging doctor services just to avoid taking time off for minor stuff. The one I'm on now made a point about sending a live video reply from the actual doctor, not just a text message, got me thinking, did other services just have someone, or an AI, writing the responses? Like what's actually stopping them not trying to be paranoid just wondering if anyone else has looked into this or if I'm overthinking it.
i had to do a little researching to figure out what is going on but i think i have it figured out. If symptoms add up to something that falls outside of what they are allowed to treat they are supposed to mention that before ending the call. time and time again my partner has had video call cancel on them out of nowhere with no explanation. it leaves us confused and unable to make a more informed decisions.
like seriously tf, why would you treat your patients this way.
needing a pcp for medical services for older parents with lots of health issues. tried wellcomemd, was awful. anyone try partnermd or one of the other ones in the area? thanks
Hi everyone,
I recently started a new job after being unemployed for a long time. Unfortunately, they do not offer health insurance, and I'm trying to figure out the most affordable way to manage my healthcare.
I have ADHD and need to start getting my prescription medication. I assume I will need to be diagnosed again, because it's been years since my original diagnosis, but I'm not sure. I also use tretinoin for acne/skincare. Since I don't currently have insurance, I'm wondering if anyone has experience using telehealth services for either of these needs.
I'm looking for:
If you've been in a similar situation, I'd appreciate hearing what worked for you and what the costs were like.
I just moved to South Carolina from NJ. I need to find a doctor to continue my gabapentin script. Does anyone know if QuickMD Primary Care Doctors will prescribe it here? I did the 100$ appt for my Subs and he wouldnt send the Gabapentin in also... thx.
What the title says.
I was re-dx'd ADHD in 2017 (dx'd but not treated as a child). After 4 years of paying obscene amounts to a psychiatrist, my PCP took over prescribing my stimulants (same drug, same dose the whole time, 2017-2026). PCP retired recently: "Just find a psychiatrist to continue to prescribe." I only saw this PCP grudgingly for my ADHD meds: If my medication hadn't been life-changing, I'd happily have not seen anyone at all.
Area psychiatrists aren't taking new patients, aren't on my insurance, area PCPs now refuse to prescribe scheduled psych drugs. I cannot afford the time or thousands out of pocket for new tests and doctor roulette while I lose my job and relationships due to untreated ADHD, you know the drill.
I just want to continue my treatment, damn it. This whole thing is enraging. I have letters from docs, bottles, records from the pharmacy, blah blah blah. Please help. TIA.
