I have to admit, I was dreading my doctor's reaction when I told him this morning that I had decided not to fill my Effexor prescription. I was afraid he was going to be critical of the fact that I hadn't even tried the medicine before dismissing it, that I was being too irrational over my fears of bad side effects, etc. But he said that I needed to do what felt right to me, and for me not to think he was angry or anything. I promised I would continue to think about the possibility of a second medication.


GAH--why do I always build things up in my mind worse than they are? Here I spent the whole weekend imagining a bad conversation and here it ended up being a 2 minute, pleasant exchange.


Of course now I'm thinking he is sure to tell Therapist about my decision and she will want to talk about it at my next appointment. Wait--there I go again imagining things to be worse than they are! Haha.
