These last few weeks have been a bit weird for me. I'm in a better place psychologically but also a worse place because I'm not sure how to handle this new place. Sundays, for whatever reason, tend to be my worse day. I woke up okay, but then the crying spells hit.

I've never been on meds - always been "crazy" but no meds. I haven't even shared any of my mental health issue with my doctor. However, I worked up the courage about two weeks ago to do so (when I felt like this) but I couldn't get an appt (highly unusual; I guess because of flu) and had to work the next few days. Then, I felt okay. So I didn't pursue it.

Today, I had the courage and went to the local urgent care (pcp closed). I signed in for depression, the nurse put anxiety on my sheet, and the doctor diagnosed me with Adjustment Disorder with depressed mood (which I didn't mention I already have a diagnosis of, so I guess she knows what she is doing).

She asked what I wanted her to do to help me. I told her I don't know. I asked for a low almost placebo dose medication, maybe even an herb. I mentioned a natural thing called "Rescue Remedy" but that I couldn't use it at work because it contains alcohol. She was highly against that product from the time I mentioned it. She was very very relieved that I was in counseling and asked me not to stop, and prescribed Celexa saying that it has the least reported symptoms. She said to do 10 mg x 5 days and then 20 mg a day.

I saw a lot of complaints about side effects on this medication and that you could take as low as 5mg a day. I don't know if I should just start the meds, talk to T about it (Thursday) or try to get an appt with my pcp before starting (won't be until next week probably). I don't even really know who to ask so...i'm asking you all. What do I do?
