Thanks, everyone. I've been with this pdoc awhile now (9 months, I guess), but he worked with my retiring pdoc who gave him a summation that she thought I was heading toward mixed (paid astronomical fee for 10 yr of psych records), but he told me he talked over my case with her a couple of times (my first few months of treatment with him; I signed a release) as she scaled back to working part-time. She is very, very good, and among the area, my new pdoc has very high ratings and my PCP knows him (a plus there). He has been my old pdoc's colleague a long time; he has been at that clinic as long I have been going there, since early Jan. 2008, so they have been colleagues quite awhile. It may have been a diagnosis they both felt warranted it.

I am hoping once H is established in his new job, my daughter back in school, and all the medical insurance sorted out, I will be doing better. I hope so. My pdoc wants to swap out Cymbalta for Wellbutrin; I did decently on Cymbalta, especially in the beginning, shortly post-partum and it seems like a couple of years at least, and Cymbalta helped with fibro pain (fibro screamed when I stopped it), and if I get on Cymbalta, I may not need gabapentin any more (only take gabapentin for fibro). I know he also wants to get the Seroquel dosage lower in the long run, but, as said above, he felt the stress around the holidays, so much stress in my life in general needed to calm down a little before tinkering with meds. Hopefully, we can start working with the change to Cymbalta soon. I get forgetful for words on Wellbutrin.

Fingers crossed H's new job makes him happy and less exhausted (even with a long commute). And hopefully, it comes with better medical insurance than they give high school teachers.
