Life goes around and comes back again
Went to the new Pdoc today and am happy to say he is a much nicer fellow. He took time to listen to me, was thoughtful, explained how the medicine works in my brain -- all of these things the other guy never did. I'm glad I went and the $240 was worth it (ugh I need insurance so bad). He prescribed me ativan (lorazepam) and no more clonazepam because I built up a tolerance to it that made it ineffective. He gave me samples of Seroquel XR to start taking, and said to keep taking the Abilify that was given to me by the 'old' pdoc. He wrote a new script for citalopram (even though I told him it doesn't seem to be working well for me) so soon when the Abilify is gone my cocktail will be Seroquel XR, Lorazepam, and citalopram. I really really hope this helps with the anxiety and depression I've been going through. I really have my fingers crossed. Its about time I figure something out that really works for me!
p.s. I got fired from my job for missing a day and a half of work due to being so anxious that I was vomiting.
