About the meds- if you're leary ABOUT USING MEDS TO HELP THINGS OUT, you might feel more comfortable going to a psychiatrist (vs. a GP) that has an expertise in psychopharmacology. My Pdoc is awesome with prescribing meds for me. It took me almost a year before I would take anything and when I finally decided I'd try, she took it little by little and let me make the decisions about when I thought I needed to add more or someting else. Pdoc knew my fear of meds, so I literally started out taking just a small nibble of the lowest dose of the pills she wanted me to and worked up from there. Because of the way she worked with me, I was soon able to fully trust her recommendations for meds. I don't know what I'll do when she decides to retire. I suspect finding a Pdoc like her might be very hard to do.
