Hi moxietoxic. I understand the frustration of having to wait and wait for progress. I used to hate the word "patience" as a kid and young woman, but I had to learn it. That's not to say we should settle long-term in a less than OK state. Consider keeping a little journal of how things are every day and share that with your psychiatrist. At least it seems that your doctor is tweaking things. Even the statement "wants to stay on it for another 3 weeks, just to make sure" seems like an indication that he/she isn't planning to leave your current meds be long-term, if insufficient.
