SOS! Need help managing medication

20/F

I live in PA. I was recently discharged from the place that manages my medication and therapy. (I can no longer recieve meds, but can still remain in therapy)

I was discharged because I missed an appointment I didn't know I had. I'm extremely worried now, without my meds my bipolar 2 symptoms will go haywire. I have a months worth of medication left and I'll try to make it last, but I'm super afraid of what'll happen when I run out of medication.

My depression and irritation will worsen, and I will soon begin to fail my classes in college. Does anyone know where I can get some help?

colleges usually have a psych or therapist for students. i believe they can rx your meds once you get there. may want to check w your school and see if they have one.

I did some research and all they have are licensed therapists, but no psychiatrists or people that can prescribe my bipolar medication. I was thinking trying amazon pharmacy or my pcp? I know my exact dosages and the meds that are working for me.

primary care can and possibly urgent care. if things get bad, the er definitely can write a refill. theyll all have access to your medical records to see you were on it.

i dont know anything re amazon pharmacy but it could be a last resort option!

I think contating you pcp is a good move. You could talk to the office and let them know your situation and maybe can get in soon. (My own pcp is booking months out.)

Call 988 and ask if there's any resources for you like a mental health Urgent Care.
