Christina, I'm so glad the nausea is fading. Now let's hope another bugger is tackled.

bluebicycle, I keep having to rewrite this as I see subsequent responses. I understand the issue about practices with therapists and pdocs where you must see both within the same practice or all out. Could you talk to your therapist about helping you with this whole issue? I guess you'll need to decide if starting with a new therapist is worth getting a new psychiatrist. What is most valuable for your mental health? It sounds like you may need to make some sacrifice here. I now avoid those practices that force you to see both tdoc/pdoc there. It's not helpful for many people.

Wander, now YOUR pdoc sounds like a good one. I am happy you received good support. I hope you feel better soon.

bpcyclist, that is scary about your friend! There was a time when I was quite concerned about the amount of medications I was taking. Compared to then, my med cocktail is small, and it is still large compared to most people's. I really think it is an individual thing to some degree, as well. I know some people can handle much larger doses than others.
