So yesterday I had my appointment at the clinic. When I saw the psychiatrist, he asked me a few questions. I nearly broke out in tears.
He gave me 5 boxes of Lexapro (7 doses each) and my next appointment is 18 August. Then he'll see what's different with me on the Lexapro. He definitely wants to tackle the gender issue. I could tell.
Lexapro is a different kind of antidepressant. Its still an SSRI, but its a bit stronger than Prozac. The doctor said it has fewer side effects than Prozac. I dunno, but I certainly feel better. When the Prozac was taking effect I felt woozy, the Lexapro made me somewhat queasy when it was taking effect. At least it wasn't too horribly bad.
So, one month from now, essentially. If I find myself lucky enough to have acquired a job by then, things will go well.
