So glad you're getting some good help. Take it from me, you want a psychiatrist who's conservative with meds; otherwise, you'll never know what works or doesn't work, what's too much or what's not enough. Mine is that way, and it always surprises him when I say "thank you" for being so careful with medications. Most patients want change, change, change whenever a med doesn't seem to work or causes side effects; but as a clinician I appreciate a doctor who likes to take things more slowly.

You are fortunate, a lot of people don't fare as well with their first experience of psychiatry.
