i was on psych meds for the last few years through state parole. now that i am off parole i don't know of an avenue in which to find a shrink to get put back on meds. i desperately need to get back on the meds cuz i don't know how much longer i will be able to deal with me w/out meds. i haven't been taking them since december. now that i need them i don't know of a way to get them back. the last few months i've had some of the most severe mood swings, and bouts of depression that i've ad in a very long time. i'm not self medicating anymore. no crank or heroin. can i get some help trying to find a doctor here in the san francisco bay area. thats where i'm at.

well there are a bunch of clinics in san francisco (i used to live there), including one on haight and ashbury...and a bunch of others. i threw out the larkin street business card thing that had all the numbers for the clinics though, but a basic clinic will set you up with some kind of way to get your meds or at least tell you how. oh wait, here are some free to no cost clinics, that are all in SFC proper.
they could at least explain to you how to get low or no cost medications. there is a list of many different insurance programs that you could qualify for, including cobra, medical, healthy families, etc. if i were you i'd call, say you had a psychiatric evaluation but no way to get the meds anymore. make sure they know you've already been on the medication, because they'll see that as more urgent.
the people at these places can be quite snippy and vague but eventually you'll reach a human being who can at least give you a decent referral! good luck
