The hunt for a new psychiatrist

(They do not work together.) He suggested a dose change in one med, give that a month and then work on the next step. But I am free to call any time if the dose change does not agree in any way....Or to use email if I prefer. Glory be, a doc that corresponds by email?!

He's not quite clear on how my insurance works, so I'm not calling this a success until I know he's satisfied with the insurance issues. But it was a more positive than negative encounter.

My God, E, this guy at least sounds human and has both feet on the ground. I was always told that a good sign is a doc that will allow email correspondence. This could be a good start or at least a decent interim care taker. My psychiatrist doesn't believe that DID exists, so you know how that goes. I hope this works out for you.
