FRUSTRATION

My bf is going thru the alcohol thing. Hes been sober since I got sober, were both a day away from 30 days. His doctors at kaiser were giving him valium (after librium) and he found the valium worked for him. He's got some major anxiety going on from work issues, money issues and the like...Now his doctor said no more valium (he's only gotten it twice in a month) and they want to put him on buspar for anxiety. Hes already started the prozac they gave him a week ago and I know these things take weeks to kick in, I called the pharmacy to confirm this, so WTF is the point of them putting him on TWO drugs that wont kick in for a few weeks? Im so pissed I could spit. His doctors are A holes! he's been nothing but honest with them and finally found something that worked, told them he only wanted to be on the Val until the prozac kicked in and yet still they tell him, were switching your valiums to buspar. Just GREAT. Another two weeks of his anxiety with nothing to treat him. Thank god he got a refill on the valium yesterday and has enuf for 8 more doses plus I have some and can probly get more on monday. Im just sooo frustrated with kaiser for F'ing with him like this.

He is going but not until the 24th of this month. so kinda pointless ya know? I told him were good right now, he has some valium and the ER knows his situation and has been extremely helpful in the recent weeks. Its just Kaiser thats being a beyotch. And his shrink is thru kaiser too so theyre not gonna give him anything either cuz his beyotch doctor put it all in his charts NO MORE VALIUM. im gonna probly get more monday and give em to him if he needs em.

I agree.  That doesn't make any sense, unless they felt that it was unsafe for him to continue the valium while starting the other new meds.
