The pdoc ended up calling in 50mg Sertraline for me. I'm good with that, as I know it worked for me in the past and he said he'll be sure and work with me on weaning off when I'm ready to stop so I don't get brain zaps this time. I told him I really don't want to be on anything long-term but my thought is to get me through "the thing" in December, h's current health carp, and then our upcoming months of overtime that start on jan 1 so I can avoid having a minor breakdown like I did this year near the end of january when I had to get a manager-approved day off. he was good with that thought. So hopefully the pharmacy will have it ready to pick up tomorrow.
I feel a good bit of relief right now. And haven't felt my heart rate spike at all today. More evidence that it's just anxiety and not something more serious.
