I'd much rather be hypo! Wouldn't we all?) I have gotten to where I am very groggy and light-headed until 5pm the following day. I will be decreasing at least one med tonight. I just cannot function otherwise. I see her on Friday. I will inform her then and, hopefully, I will see the effects of the decrease so she can take it from there.
I was just thinking about what it might be like if I decided to go without meds and without a pdoc? I am wondering how I will afford to see my pdoc in the near future. I honestly do not think I'd make it. So, I'll keep on trying. I do appreciate my pdoc so very much! She's very bright, very experienced, ultra compassionate and FUN!!! Her"aura" is both peaceful and JOYful!!! What a smile!!!  She just naturally has the traits of a "healer." I don't think she realizes this. I will have to tell her this week!!!
Do you like and/or appreciate your pdoc and/or tdoc? Have you told him/her? I think many of them work hard and thoughtfully. Most are very invested in their clients. Many are exposed to a lot of tragedy. Maybe they'd like to hear a bit of positive feedback from us? Just a random thought.

WildCoyote I am so glad you have a great pdoc! I bet she would love to hear that! I do really appreciate my therapist as she is so kind and compassionate. I have worried I have seemed unappreciative in the past when depressed and feeling hopeless and have wondered if I should let her know I appreciate her. I did appreciate my pdoc too because he seemed to care and listen and was always reliable. He continued to see me after I had to stop the study due to the SSRI reaction to make sure I was stable. I was frustrated he didn't believe me right away when I said the medication was messing with me, but in the end he did his best and I really appreciated him. I also appreciate my physical therapists for helping me get my functioning back, and my acupuncturist for all he has done for me, too.
