I thought I'd share
info from my psychiatric visit... it was an emotional appointment for me, but a
positive result...
Saw Dr. Mirsky today...
his style is friendly but very efficient, kind of business-like - but he's not
my psychotherapist...
Bottom line - micro-dosing
Prozac... the oldest - 1987 - and still the best one out there for
Anxiety/Depression, especially when there's concern re side-effects...
I'll start at 2.5 mg,
then go up to 5 mg, then 7.5 and ultimately 10 mg... this is a low dose...
Mirsky said the down side for me is concern re side effects with meds, but the
positive is that he thinks I can get benefit from a low dose of a med...
I'll still for now
take micro-dose of Melatonin because if I change something, he/I won't know
what's going on re symptoms... he said I know you've had disappointments, but
this is a process, and seemed confident that I could feel better...
this is a process, and seemed confident that I could feel better...
Also wants me to talk
to therapists (Joyce and Ann) re other ex. - cardio - that I could handle
balance-wise... asked if I had a psychotherapist, and seemed clued in that
everything is connected, which is good...
I go back in 5
wks....
