Well, i called the Dr. yesterday morning and I talked to a nurse and she said that she didn't think it would be good for me to see my usual male Dr. and I should see his woman partner and she got me in at 4:00. I went and the Dr. was SOOO understanding and helpful. She started me on 10mg of Lexapro and gave me .5mg Klonopin only if I NEED them. She would only give me 7 of them because she thought I might try to OD on them even though I told her I was not suicidal. She also said thatI should not be alone for the next few days (which I am b/c everyone I know is at work). She said I needed to get into counseling right away and with a rape specialiast ONLY and there are only a few within a 50 miles radius and they are very busy but, since she thinks Im suicidal she is going to try topull some strings and get me in this week. I have to go back in 2 weeks to get the lexapro uped to 20mg. She was really worried about me and I was glad b/c I can't stand Dr.'s who dont care about their patients. She wanted to hug me, I could tell, but, she didn't I think b/c she didnt know how I would react. AND the truth is, i didnt even tell her everything! I Only told her the short versiona nd left a TON out b/c it would have taken hours for me to tell her all of it! She said she would call me last night and she didnt but, I think it is b/c she couldnt get ahold of the counselors she was callng. So I guess we will see how this works and hopefully I get a good counselor!

Sara,


I am happy to hear that you are getting in to see a Dr. and I think that is it so great that she expressed such concern for you, it isnt very often that Dr.'s do that for their patients and I think that is awesome and I wish you nothing but the best.

I have never dealt with rape so I cant understand what you are going thur on that level, but I am glad to hear that you are finding a rape counsler in your area I tink that it would do a world of good for you.

I wish you alot of luck and I hope that all works out for you in the end. I am sure that with alot of therapy and talking that you will be fine or at least on the road to being okay.

You are in my thoughts

I am glad that you are going to see a counselor and that everything will be okay now. I do think that it is strange that the Dr. thinks you are suicidal even though you said that you weren't. Oh well...I am glad that she is so caring to you. I wish the best for you, and that you will find your counselor to be a nice person! :)
