I called to try to find a new pdoc...since I truly hate my current pdoc, its probably not a good idea to keep going to see her...sooooooooo, I called the group of pdocs that run the psych ward here, and one of the pdocs is taking new patients...it may be a few months b4 i can get in, but i'm titrating up on lamictal, so this is a good time to do it.

I've seen all these pdocs many times in the hospital, and they are really good...

I just didn't want to deal with the whole changing thing...

So, the receptionist will be calling me back soon with an appt.

I also googled lexapro withdrawal...i sooo wish my pdoc had email. I'm going thru classic symptoms...ugh.

good going keli. i hope that you can get in there soon and that the pdoc you get is as good or better than your old pdoc was.


as for me, i've got a consultation appointment with the pdoc that does the ect today at 4:00. i haven't made up my mind yet, but am still leaning toward not having it. but i'm willing to listen to the guy to see what he has to say. then i'll talk to my tdoc and see where to go from here. whether it's waiting until the holidays are over and going i/p, or riding out the med increases, or going with the ect. right now, those are my only options, none of which i like, but if i had to choose 1, i'd go with the med increases.


anyway, i'm proud of you for rooting around and finding a new pdoc. that took courage and conviction and most of all strength. see,

This is awesome. I hope you are able to see the new pdoc soon and get your meds straight. I hope the new one is a great pdoc for you. You work so hard and need someone on your side...a pdoc..you always have us on your side.


Love you,
