As some of you know, I have been struggling lately. My depression and anxiety have been at an ultimate high. I spend hours crying until I'm just exhausted. Well, I saw my psychiatrist yesterday. He increased my Zoloft from 100mgs to 200mgs. He also told me that I could take an extra Valium a day if I need to. He suggested that I participate in an outpatient program to help me. I contacted the lady and I start tomorrow. It's three days a week for a few hours. So, that's my update. Thank you to all of you for your support.

Hi PM,

I am so sorry that you have been struggling lately...

...but so proud of you for getting in to see your P-doc, and get the Rx adjustments and recommendation that you did!! That is great work on your part, and no small feat when you aren't feeling well!

Best wishes with your bump in the Zoloft. You will hopefully have no s/e's, but you have your extra benzo if needed temporarily as you adjust, so that is good.

And I am thrilled to hear about your oppurtunity to do the intensive therapy. I am sure that this is going to give you the jump start that you need in your recovery process!

Best wishes in all of this new plan...keep us posted, and know that we are cheering you on!

S.C.

I echo the others comments in congratulating you on your moving forward to feeling better. I know it's a miserable feeling to just feel helpless and cry. You're strong so hang in there and let us know how you're doing.

Panda,

This all sounds very positive. Let me know how the Zoloft upgrade goes.
