I won't see my doctor again until September or so (medication maintenance is all she does). At this point I honestly don't think I need a dosage adjustment.. I also don't want to start throwing higher dosages at what may not be an entirely serious situation. SSRI's don't make one immune to depression, after all, and mine isn't yet to the point where I believe the doctor would suggest an increase (unless I lied about the intensity).

I don't have a therapist, nor am I in a position to afford one. PT hasn't been very effective for me in the past anyway (I'm reluctant to discuss these things in a less anonymous setting, thus the web...)

As for friends... ironically the only one I would feel comfortable talking to also happens to be an individual I am highly attracted to (yay - more guilt!), so that isn't likely to happen unless I want to cause yet more problems.

I'm keeping close watch however.. if things turn further downward, I can certainly re-schedule a closer session and get a med boost if needed. At a current 37.5 mg though, I'm not sure I like that idea much either.
