NikkiLLL! Don't be too hard on yourself. It is a very hard situation to be in, trying to answer questions when very depressed -- and with someone you hadn't ever seen before no less! Just wanted to let you know that I feel for you on that having once been in a similar situation. I was a mess and in no mental state to even comprehend what she was asking, let alone answer coherently. And in this confusion, BP got by-passed, and in just a few minutes it was straight to the meds... yeah. Again,
Sorry to not be able to comment on those particular meds, as I've never been on any of them.
Remembering from your previous thread.. in all of this, don't forget to be proud of yourself for pursuing new care after your experience with the previous doctor. Glad to hear that you will be trying to go again soon.
I definitely second the idea of writing things down that you want to remember. Keep us posted, ok?
