Damn them when they say that. It is not only cruel, it can be dangerous when prescribers don't take a patient's depression seriously. That's what mine said 3 weeks ago, and that's why I've found a different pdoc, and that's why I've increased the anti-dep myself - and increasing it is why I'm feeling so much better.

I'm so glad you've posted here, xRavenx. I do encourage you to call your pdoc. No one should have to live with breaking down and crying all the time. That's what was happening to me and it was awful. Be very, very insistent. If you feel like crying, don't hold back. 2/8 is way too far away. Make her do her job, not blow you off.

Check in. We're here
