Sol Aristatel Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Good point, but I would imagine he would be really unhappy if he loses more than his marriage because he can’t pay the bills. I don’t know his financial situation, so maybe he has plenty of savings, but unless he can get some sort of short term disability, I would be a little afraid of losing my job also. Maybe he could talk to human resources and express his concern. ...tell them he believes that he could benefit from continuing the program (if that’s true) but that he values his job and does not want to jeopardize that...maybe feel them out a bit.Agree.

Few savings. I was approved for STD through next week, which is what would pay me. That being said, because my FMLA is exhausted, there isn't anything concrete that would hold my job. I feel if they want me out it will happen. I work for an extremely large company. I called our HR, they referred me to my manager, who my manager referred me to HR. After the convo with my manager I feel a bit more confidant they aren't trying to replace me, but the call would come from HR, if they wanted to. I have maybe 5-6 weeks of PTO a year so possibly that is protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a month at my last job, and that was after being there ten years...it was also maximum you could get..,and no roll overs. 5-6 weeks is sweet!

KingKolzig Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 im dropping all my medications in the next 1-2 years. very slow process and one at a time. already went from a ridiculous 1200mg modafinil a day down to 200mg. even that sucks. but i needed the stuff to get a month sober. couldnt pay me to drink right now i wouldnt do it for 10k i was 6 months sober then the government decided to fry me from satellite for nearly a month. i begged them to stop but they didnt. finally checked into the hospital and it stopped. saw ppl worse off than me. doug was my roomate probably 60 and incredibly depressed. most likely made worse by the wrong medication but he just blindly accepts it as it takes him to a new universe of pain. his adopted son would come visit him i even thought about when i got out meeting him in the parking lot and telling him his father probably has chronic akathisia. but that could really only go bad and he would never listen to another crazy patient.

Dark Raver Camper Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Let me tell you about this..... I left the program today at noon. Tomorrow was my planned last day. Planned meaning I wanted to leave the program and go back to work. I left and I called my medication guy/therapist office to schedule appointments. While I was in this program, I couldn’t have anything scheduled with them. I called and they said they need to talk to the program people first. An hour later I get a call and they say the dr. Won’t see me any longer because I didn’t complete the program. The people who run it didn’t think I was good enough to return to work. So basically they could keep me there for months, like some people are. I’m ripping shit mad. The therapist at the med man said give it a try for a week and see if you like it. This seems like malpractice to me and unethical. I need to go back to work now and they want me to flirt with disaster. Stay in the program until we feel you are good enough to work. Sitting there for 6 hours isn’t helping me. I’m really, really pissed off right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAG Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 That sucks! So they won’t prescribe you your meds unless you go back to this daily inpatient thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Raver Camper Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 They won’t see me anymore. I’m worried I’ll be cut off on the meds they prescribed. They referred me to two places. One is out of network. The other I’m waiting for a call back. I called another place and there is a 4 month wait. I need to get this figured out. I may have to call them and ask that they see me until I get in. The good dam therapist said give it a week and that sold me to do it. Now comes this complete the program shit.

KingKolzig Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 That sucks! So they won’t prescribe you your meds unless you go back to this daily inpatient thing? my place is pretty good at getting you the meds. they arent good at letting heroin punks in their system. these punks are all done they have no clue what they are doing im so glad i never tried meth or heroin the recovery would be years.........booze you can start to feel good in 3 months me personally i just need a job it lifts my depression but i wont go to work with a huge beerbelly because you cant lose weight and work its too hard. so i have to go to work at 200lbs maybe less should happen on my new paleo diet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Raver Camper Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I’m not a lawyer but it really seems like malpractice to me.

Therapy blackmail. I can’t see them abruptly cutting you off on the meds ...mostly because you would think there would be some liability issues —especially with the ones where there are withdrawal issues, but they could stop seeing you. Still shitty if it was presented to you as an option, not a requirement of your therapy, and you gave it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKolzig Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 in 1.5 years ill be off all my meds (might keep prozac) ill never touch booze again. rad satellite stole 6 months sobriety from me but im going to get that back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly about not prescribing while I’m finding or waiting for someone new. If they push back and say no, too bad, then I’ll explore legal avenues, and I’m not like that. They told me to give it a god dam try. I did. It wasn’t helping and I need to go back to work. Complete the program? You told me to give it a week and give it a try. What do I have to lose? This is shady as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAG Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Was your insurance paying for that program? Are they trying to keep you in there for financial reasons? That’s great if they’re making a ton of money off you, but you need to make money for you. That is not cool. At all. How long have you been seen this therapist that recommended the intensive inpatient program?Also did you say you take medicine for ADHD? Now we are thinking that my problem might not be depression , but ADD. If it is something I am interested in, i can pay attention and remember every detail about anything, but if I have no interest in something it is like literally physically impossible for me to learn or absorb it. I always did very well in school so it never occurred to me until I started reading some of the characteristics about people with ADHD and ADD and it might make sense. I have never thought depression was my biggest issue other than that one episode last year. Anyway point is I would be interested in hearing about that type of medication either on the board or via p.m. if you take one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 All insurance is hard to collect on now a days ,their business model now is deny,deny,deny.Do you have a close friend or family member you can talk to?Have you been seeing your kids?Try to find what use to make you happy,it won’t be easy but life never is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
