Hi, Adel. I survived my visit with the pdoc but now I have to see if I can survive taking the meds! That's a joke.....I think!

His nurse talked to me more than he did. When he came in, she summarized what I told her! Interesting variation, though I have no idea if any other pdoc handles it that way. He asked a few questions and asked why I decided NOW, to get meds. I don't know if I answered it the way I feel; I was too nervous. Anyway, I got my expected RX for zoloft, but an added one for valium. Both low dosage. I have to go back every week for a month, to see how I tolerate the meds.

So, I will have to try them tonight though I'm scared, but not too scared. I realize that they may help me to feel better. If not, I don't think I've lost much. I know it will take time for the zoloft to work, if it does.

Try not to worry, Adel.

Yes, I think farmergirl was right. They start with something pretty standard and safe like zoloft. Plus they start with a low dose. You're already taking it, though. So maybe they will want to try something else, or reevaluate because of your fatigue?
