i do think your pdoc needs this update even if he wants for you to ride it out for now. splitimage, another thought, even if you wish to eventually get off meds, i feel you would benefit with just staying in the "now." using what you've learned in AA. you're dealing with a lot right now including sobriety.
as for working right now...do you need to do this to stay afloat? i know you had an upsetting ending with your last job. when i got sober i concentrated on not rushing towards too many things. i needed the time to focus on myself-therapy- and sobriety as well. i couldn't manage too much on my plate cause it would not be beneficial in the long run. don't know if this is viable or something you want to do. just a thought. how do your docs feel about your approach to getting back in the mainstream of life right now ?
