[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 20258, member: 1697"] we use this doctor and for us it is 2.5 hours by car. We have used this doctor for 6 years, now, and it actually has turned out better for us than the`local doctor becuz this doctor HAS replied to emergecy calls emails and pages. (our local docs would not even return calls to the ER) BUT there were a couple times when we had to go to ER and get certain labs etc done or get a docs opinion of something to report to this psychiatrist by phone or fax. I would not downplay anything tho, and I would be cautious. It does seem that if you are wanting to continue using the respirdal then you will likely have to also use cogentin. It does not sound to me like the respirdal is really doing anything very positive at all, tho, so I am not sure why you would continue to use it. It sounds like the choice at this moment is respirdal PLUS cogentin or neither. While we have been using this psychiatrist for 6 years, we have always been willing to run at drop of a hat to this psychiatrist even if it meant dragging the other 2 kids with us, and following up with a local ER visit so the further away psychiatrist could have info available as quickly as possible- to ease psychiatrists mind of any situation. I did not really understand the ER near you, not equipped? Do you mean they do not have an adequete psychiatric hospital? But do they have a lab? Can they do blood draws, assess for possible medication overdoses and serious adverse reactions? [/QUOTE]
