I have a new pdoc and a new tdoc. I think these are good changes so far. My tdoc is trying to get into my personality and how I become depressed...what depresses me and how to deal with it. Hopefully it helps but I know it will take some time.

My new pdoc is changing my meds. He is weaning me off Cymbalta and gradually increasing prozac. He is weaning me off risperdal. He isn't sure what he is going to do about the Lamictal so for now he is leaving it alone. He wants me to take klonopin 2-3 times a day for my anxiety but I can't handle that. I will be drowsy all day, though if my anxiety gets real bad I will take it like that. I told him that. He hasn't givin me a DX's though he says I definately suffer more from the depression side of bipolar 'if' I am bipolar he says. Well I have been DX'd bipolar 2 for over 2 years now and have been being treated as such. I just want my symptoms treated so I will feel better.

My dd got a new job...hopefully she will stick with it. I think it will be good for her. She is looking into getting her G.E.D(high school diploma) and cosmotology school. I am starting to feel better about her becoming more motivated about her future. She was having a hard time for awhile with depression and now she is doing better.

It feels good to be able to post some good things that are happening. I hope everyone is doing well and hanging in there.
