I am so sorry. Is there anyway your PCP can prescribe meds until there's a better pdoc.

Thank you Mm. I don't have a PCP. I do have a GP, but she won't prescribe psych meds unless it's truly an emergency.

Yes, I've been on all the SSRI's at some time or another. Zoloft was helpful for me, so was Celexa. When I was younger the SSRI's were truly a miracle. My hope is that they'll still work for me.

So I'm supposed to take 50mg of Zoloft every night for a week, then go up to 100mg. So far I haven't noticed much except that I feel queasy all day. I hope it subsides soon.

I think the queasiness is from so many meds being changed by my pdoc weirdo.

No more Pristiq (AD), no more AP. Soon no more Wellbutrin. I took the first 100mg. of Zoloft last night. I don't feel any different (still extremely anxious), but I know I do have to give the Zoloft a few days to kick in - if it does.

Second or third day of taking Zoloft. It may be helping with depression a bit, but not doing a thing for the anxiety.

have you tried yoga or meditation. Does your anxiety prevent you from sitting still?

The churning anxiety was somewhat relieved earlier today. Depression also somewhat better. I'm hoping the Zoloft is starting to work, although the anxiety returned later this afternoon.

Yes, I'm taking Lamictal. Current (new) pdoc pulled all AP's. I would really appreciate a low dose of Haldol, but she's dead-set against an AP.

Yes, by telehealth. She's in New Mexico. It's ridiculous. If my clinic doesn't hire an on-site pdoc within the next 2 months I'm going to look elsewhere.

I do believe that my psychiatrist is Judge Judy's twin sister. *sigh* I will say that today's appointment, while hard work, was more productive than the previous 3 have been.
She flatly refuses to prescribe a low-dose AP. "Tardive dyskenesia", blah, blah. As if THIS is the way to live a life! Anyway, she raised Zoloft to 150mg. In the past, Zoloft has been a good med for me. She actually shook loose and added hydroxizine. If I recall correctly, I was on that years ago and it was useless. But I'm willing to try just about anything, so I'll give it a shot.

Wow, I wouldn’t think a judge Judy personality would make a good pdoc! I’m glad it was productive tho.

I think the Zoloft increase is helping a fair amount. As for the hydroxizine, I'm not yet sold on that one.
