I once had a silent, indifferent T and this style I found to be more harmful than helpful. However, I can say the opposite about my current T in general. He talks more, offering support and even advice when I ask for it. He is warmer and more engaging that old T's.

Medication has been less than a full success--Effexor worked best for depression but I felt drugged in a foggy sense the first few weeks on it. I like Buspar for anxiety. Everything else was kind of "meh" in the results dept.
