So, I'm not expecting a miracle, just hoping that I can get someone with experience in prescribing meds. That he's an MD makes a difference to me. My hope is that he works with symptoms, not with a label.
In the meantime, I'll keep seeing S. (formerly known as 'med dude') until I check out the new guy, then I'll decide which one to go with - or keep looking.
What a lovely day. 63F, pleasant, sunny, clean, and a break in the rain - which will return tomorrow and Saturday.
Wow, am I ever tired.

Good luck Beth. I lucked out with my current pdoc. Of course he has it easy. I’m currently very stable and only need my meds continued as are. He didn’t see a need to change the ambian but did wean me off and then to my current dose which is only half of what it used to be. He didn’t have a problem with it but I’m happier at the reduced dose age. I don’t see him again until March.
