My T has been henpecking me to get me to talk to a Pdoc. I scheduled an appointment for a few weeks from today. Since I have been having trouble sleeping for nine months and lots of crying spells, I think this is a good idea. What is it like to talk to a Pdoc? How often does one see a Pdoc at first? T said that the initial appointment is similar to the assessment/Dx appointment of talking to T. Is that about right? After the first appointment, if I decide to try it I would see her again after two weeks. Is that another 45 minute appointment or what?
I am returning to school the day after the first appointment and don't want this crap to interfere with school. I have read about the side effects. I don't want to feel drugged or have trouble at work. My manager has decided that noone is allowed to drink on the front end. A co-worker of mine tried to say that her drugs make her drink. Since she takes anti-depressants, I assumed that this is a reference to the fact that they can dry your mouth out. My manager doesn't seem to care. This might not effect me because he doesn't seem to want me upfront anymore. I sometimes wonder if he thinks I will cry again if I am upfront. It requires a person to do photo, answer phones and run the cash register. I prefer lower stress jobs with only one duty at a time. I have a one track mind. What is it like to take a drug? Since I work at a drug store, my insurance requires me to get any prescriptions at one of our chain stores. My store is the only one that I can get to on the bus of our chain. I am not sure I want to let the pharmacist that I have worked with for over two years think I'm depressed or something. I really don't even want the insurance thinking of me as mentally ill. Does this thought bug anyone else? Or is my love for labeling myself greater than even depressed people?
