Saw the doc Wednesday. Added another antidepressant to "give my current one a boost." Uh huh. Sure.

This is how the world of psych meds works: "I wonder what this button does? Let's press it and find out!" Except we're playing this fun little game with my brain. So much fun.

In all seriousness though, I've been doing slightly better than last week, and now I'm mostly worried about how I'm going to pay for my new meds after my samples run out. Luckily the doc was nice enough to give me three weeks of samples so I should hopefully know whether it's worth my money before I have to pay anything for it. Nice.

I have a meeting with my therapist again in a little over an hour. We're usually biweekly but I think I scared her last week. Wish me luck.

good luck with your T!

many people will do much better with another AD...they boost the benefits of the meds, so to speak.
I hope the new combo works well for you.

I'm glad it seems to be working for you, I'm scared of meds 0.0 (but will be going on them very soon)

I'm sure the money will come - I'm just glad it's working

Meds are scary, but I still think they're worth it. My first few months on my first med, Wellbutrin, were lovely. It was like waking up, coming back to life. Unfortunately, it just wasn't enough to keep me above water when life got rough/fall came/whatever else happened to screw with my head. But maybe this next one, plus some more help from my therapist, will be.
