I decided to keep
sharing updates re my mental health... privacy does nothing for the stigma of
the Anxiety and Depression that often accompany vision and vestibular disorders...
I spoke with my
psychiatrist, Dr. Mirsky... I like him - he's a decent guy, and really knows
his meds... I updated him, and he discussed the possibility of a med for sleep
(that would compliment Prozac) which is an issue for me - Anxiety can hit me hard
in the wee hours - but ultimately decided to try raising my Prozac... this will
be done in weekly micro-dosing, to get me up to 15 or 20 mg.... he said the
first month (which I handled) was the hardest - he's confident I'll be OK... I
said I was skeptical, and he said that's part of the Anxiety... if I have
problems, I'll shoot him an e-mail, and I see him again in a month...
He also mentioned -
because of my migraine/blood sugar diet - my need for glucose (for my brain),
and was happy about my apple intake... I also take Cod Liver Oil...
Finally, he stressed
that he wants me doing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT and meds are the
proven treatment for Anxiety/Depression... hoping my current mental health
therapist has the skills... will find out...
