Hi perkypower
Welcome to PC. Looks like you have some great responses here. I imagine things are whirling around for you with a new diagnosis and meds. Sounds like you are taking good care of yourself which is so very important. Your friend sounds supportive and caring, too. Do you also have therapy? I've found that to be so helpful along with the proper medications, which may take some tweaking here and there. Please keep us updated on how things are going!
Take care,
Dee
