Went to the doctor's today. My counsellor didn't write up the note, so I ended up talking quite a bit. Went all right. I think he consulted another doctor on the medication, because he was gone a while. Anyway, he diagnosed me with MPD and prescribed an SSRI, Seroxat (Paxil), and a benzodiazepine, Xanax. I forgot to mention that I had been taking St. John's Wort, but I asked the pharmacist, who said I should wait a week before starting the SSRI (I've read you should wait two, so I'm not surprised). My counsellor said he would send an e-mail (and he did, after I hassled him a bit), so we'll see if the doctor replies.

I talked with my counsellor a bit, and he doesn't think I have MPD. (I have had bad episodes in the past, but these days it's generally fine.) He also brought up the benzo, which I figured was addictive. The doctor told me to take one every evening; my counsellor and the pharmacist were under the impression it was take as needed. Personally, I don't think I have a big problem with anxiety, so I'm just going to wait till next week to start the SSRI. Wish me luck!
