*big sigh* while i realize it was a first appointment, an starting assessment, i'm sad to report i'm not sure that the appointment(s) went well. it was mostly my communication problems getting in the way, i'm sure. also they practice a style of care that they spoke of alot, but i'm not familiar with (going to try and web search it now). i kept referring to an urgent need to settle my most upsetting symptoms, although i never really got into detail of what those are. basically the psych said i should be off the ativan (the only med i take) and switched to prozac. grr. no thanks. he thinks it is the first line of defense for anxiety and upset. at least he didn't mention a huge list of drugs for all sorts of conditions. he seemed patient and calm, nice enough. i don't think i enjoy male providers as much as female. the therapist seemed nice enough, but i'm not sure i'll go again. i nearly ran out of there between the two appoinments and when my time was up i didn't even check out and bolted to the car, peeling out of the parking lot. feel sorta like a waste of my morning. oh well, hells bells. at least i'm not in any immediate state of crazy or detriment (today). i guess they'll report back to my physician who may want to talk about it at my next med check appointment, in july. ~Chris
