I'm excited and a little worried. At my last visit I left crying and feeling hopeless.

I so hope tomorrow goes much better. He said we would discuss starting Lamictal. I'm holding him to that because I NEED something different. Doing nothing is giving me nothing

I'm preparing a list of things I need to discuss tonight, including asking him WHY he couldn't even return my phone call when I was in a bad mixed state and felt that I really, really needed some help. That is what I am paying him for, or so I thought.

Writing down things to discuss is a good idea. I wouldn't be nervous about it. My pdoc appointments usually go better than I picture in my head.

Thats a good idea. And Definitely confront them about not contacting you back, thats just messed up. I hope it goes well for you this time and it alll works out for the better.

when i used to feel hopeless and down.... i searched ways to cope with it.... one way is just fake the confidence ... if you can fake it 90% still its OK... and whenever you start speaking,before every sentence take deep breath it helps too ..... and these doctors,there is always some communication problem...... they love to say that ---- worked for my other patients etc. its annoying...... well best luck!!!!!!
