scheduled to see pdoc

tomorrow i am scheduled to see the pdoc. today i saw t and told her my fears about seeing the doc. i am so torn as to what i am going to actually tell her. of course the t says be honest and talk to the doc, but im scared to admit the thoughts, si and the sleeping trouble that has been on going for several weeks now. i dont want to be sent to the hospital. actually i have self admitted 2 times in the past and i dont think i am at that point yet, but will the doc believe that or just cover her own butt.

t has been told pretty much everything from the start of this episode. i have been seeing both of them for about 4 years now.

That does sound scary.

I'm sure the pdoc will just want to make sure you are safe.
I hope you are honest with her.
If she is worried about you, maybe you could sign a safety contract with her?

I hope the appt goes ok - let me know how you are, ok?

I hope your appointment with the pdoc went well today.
How are you doing?

Hi. I hope it went well. Sorry to post late to your thread. I had the same fears, but I told everything I could and it went well. I did it so I could be on the correct med. I dont imagine a pdoc would admit you right off if you say you are OK and dont want to go.

Post and let us know how it went

sorry i never got back ... pdoc changed some meds and we will see how it goes from there

(((((my3sns))))))

i will keep my fingers cross for you that the new med plan works out well!!! good on you for keeping your pdoc appt .

I am going for the first time today. And I am really nervous about it. Not sure what kind of information has been passed along by my T. If any. So I don't know what to expect. I know I need to get my meds straightened out. My T has also talked about the possibility of me having ADD. So I don't know if I'm just going to be asked a butt load of questions. My mind goes blank.

good luck, polarsmum.

you probably will be asked quite a few questions, but if it feels overwhelming you can always say that it's getting too much, you're feeling tired, or that you simply dont want to answer .

my pdoc gave me some meds on my first visit, but i was in a bad shape and was practically begging for something. he didn't do anything drastic - just started me off on a low dose of something quite common - and we left the "in depth" analysis for a better time.

come back and let us know how you go, ok? i'll be sending you warm thoughts .

Well I went this afternoon. And it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I basically talked to her about my depression. And then told her about some stuff that T and I talked about. So she wanted to talk to him to find out what his thoughts were about the other stuff. So for right now I am just sticking with the meds I started with and adding something to it. So we'll see if it helps with the remaining symptoms. I need to go back in 2 weeks. I'm hoping this combo works. Otherwise I have to start from scratch again. Which I really don't want to do.
