Just wanted to say what I do now. I am very defensive in seeing a new pdoc so don't talk much which doesn't help me much and takes up time to try and find out what I need re: therapy, medications, etc.

So, this is what I do now. I wrote out a short summary on the computer and printed it out of how I feel, what I experience mood-wise, a little bit about me (only what I want him/her to know just now), my past behaviors, and a list of the medications I CANNOT take (bad side effects) and the ones I am on now. That way, I don't have to say anything at first, the pdoc reads, then can ask me questions based on what I wrote.

I wish you a lot of luck. It will be ok. Believe....
