Well, I guess since I take an anti-depressant for anxiety/depression I can post here. At the pdoc appointment he said it sounded like I have a lot of anxiety and some depression and suggested an anti-depressant to help. I've never really thought of myself as being depressed and it took me several months of working with T to realize what anxiety was. I have trouble identifying my emotions. If I don't hardly recognize the depression and still sometimes have trouble recognizing the anxiety, how am I supposed to know if in a couple/few weeks the med is starting to work. I thought about asking pdoc, but it felt weird to ask. A couple days later I had my session with T and asked how am I supposed to know if the med is working in a few weeks if I don't fully recognize the anxiety/depression in myself right now. T's reply, paraphrased, was "maybe one day you'll wake up and think maybe I was a little depressed/anxious before" and "we'll work on figuring out what that means when we talk in here each week." How do you know if an anti-depressant is working?
