Just met with my new pdoc - he's wonderful, everything I hoped he would be. Caring, compassionate, and he really LISTENED to me. The first thing he did after hearing some of my story was assess that my meds were definitely not right (duh.) I am going to wean off the Lexapro and start Cymbalta a.s.a.p. He is confident that this will help with my depression, anxiety as well as some of the nasty side effects I've been experiencing.

I have been searcing for a great T for months and while I have a LONG way to go, this morning's appt makes me feel a bit more optimistic. He specializes in cognitive behavioural therapy which is exactly what I've been looking for and we've agreed that this is the approach we will take with my treatment. I already have homework.

I have hubby home with me today which always helps and we are going to hang out and relax together. I feel a bit better today and can't thank you all enough for your support yesterday during that very tough day. I'm sure my mood will continue to fluctuate today, but hopefully today will be a better day. I am optimistic.
