Had a very good medication assessment meeting [View all]

I was an anxious mess, this morning. Time just dragged.

She asked lots of questions in very interesting ways and managed to put me at ease, relatively quickly. She asked if I had any children and I said, 'No. I have cats so YES I am one of those dangerous, childless chat ladies.' She started to LAUGH!! Turns out she's a strong liberal who loves that FB page.

I'm getting a total change of medications. She actually said being on Ativan for anything other than short term is just not a good idea. And I'm getting something to help me sleep. Dare I say that I'm feeling somewhat hopeful?

I go back in 2 months to see how things are working. Meanwhile I'll see my regular therapist next Wednesday.

Now to wait for that call that my prescriptions are ready to pick up. I know that some medications take a while before you really feel the full benefit so I won't be impatient.

Now I'm going to make something to eat since all I've had, today, is a lemon poppy seed muffin.
