I added a title to your post so you may get more responses, SoulNHealing.

Instead of going to the ER, try to work things out so you can be followed by a regular doctor. The ER is there just to get you stabilized until you can get to a doctor's office, but not equipped at all to provide ongoing treatment.

It's tough when you don't have insurance, but do try to see a doctor for follow-up at least every six months once your dosage has been stabilized again.
