I've been on them for brief stints before to get me out of the worst places. I'm scared that if I don't ask that I'm just going to keep sinking. But at the same time I'm scared to ask. I don't know how he will react. When I first saw him he asked if I wanted to go back on them as I wrote them down in my history of medication. I'm scared that I wont ask him next week. That I will try to pull off the "Googley is just as fine as she has ever been" routine. It isn't as hard to do for the brief fifteen minutes that I see him. Has anyone else ever gone into their pdocs office and outright asked for more meds?  I'm scared he will think I'm weak.

Hello,
He will definately not think your weak. I'm sure his reaction will be that you are advocating for yourself to get better. I think most Pdocs want to know when the meds are not working so that they can tweak them to make you feel better. You and your Pdoc are in this thing together. You will only get better if you ask for more help.
