My primary MD is someone that I know well, and he is well-versed in medications. As a result, I have relied on him for medications. My experience with psychiatry was not so positive. Either way, it's a humbling thing to get help. I desperately wanted to stay off of medication (I was free from it for over a year, but then I crashed...hard), but reluctantly started Viibryd a little over a week ago. So far, I'm not crying all the time anymore. My sleep is a bit interrupted, but that's supposed to level out.

I think we all need help at some point in our lives. I'm always on the search for some good help with my life; it is in shambles right now.

So, keep reaching out. Find people that are in your corner, even if they are in a virtual community like this.

Best wishes to you
