I finally saw the new shrink yesterday. It's better that I'm starting over with a new doctor rather than continuing with the previous one, because this time around I know what I need to tell my doctor about my condition. When I started with my old doctor, not fully understanding what was wrong with me, I gave him a very muddled explanation of what was wrong, and he interpreted it badly. Then when I tried to steer my treatment, he took everything I had said in the past into account, and it muddled things. This time around, I knew what to say, I was able to be concise, the doctor understood, and I got exactly what I needed.

It looks like I'm back on Prozac, although at a lower dose than I was taking last time I was on it. It worked very well for me in the past, so the doctor used it as a starting point. I took the first pill with breakfast, and I was already feeling better by lunch. Hopefully with the lower dose, I can avoid some of the weight gain issues that I had in the past. And if not, then he has another drug in his bag of tricks that will probably work well for me.

The ultimate test is my cousin's baby's first birthday this Saturday. If I can make it through the party without being miserable, then I'm golden.
