I'm meeting back with her in 2 weeks to check in. She was really nice and reassuring.
Another thing she said- Fluoxetine isn't great for people that have anxiety and depression. She said they make much better stuff now that targets both. Prozac/fluoxetine was the first generation of SSRIs. Interesting. She said she'll leave that major changes up to the psych doc. In the meantime, she's trying to get me back on track with Wellbutrin. How long do you think it'll work? I know it's anywhere from 2 weeks to a month or even longer. Any chance it'll happen sooner?
Hugs Nitrous. I know how you feel! Good for you for making an appt though.
Halloween- that's so long! How are you handling the wait? Why so long?
Fuzzy- thanks for the support. I'm not suicidal. I can say I hate myself but I'm not going to do anything drastic. Thanks for the concern.
