I saw my psychiatrist today and talked about modifying my antidepressant dosage. He has given me permission to increase or decrease it between 40mg and 120mg. Right now I am taking 80mg. He also prescribed me a prn dosage of Ativan for my Social Anxiety, 10 pills.
I will take 1 pill to make sure that I don’t have an adverse reaction to it or am too impaired to drive. I plan to take it prior social events I intend to cancel on to see if reduced physical symptoms will help me out the door.

They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
