Gaza - thanks for continuing to answer!
I haven't started yet, I just need to pick up the phone and call my therapist. I haven't seen her yet this month. I wanted to let my new dosage take effect (I upped from 10mg to 20mg on 12/26). I think I'm a little more clear on the direction I need to head. I'm divorced and my ex is in a bad way, mental-health-wise, so most of my therapy in the past focused on dealing with the effect his behaviors had on me.I'm re-married now. My current therapist mainly focused on how to do damage control for my current marriage - due to my anger, anxiety and other yuck-o behaviors! This was before I agreed to go on meds. So, it's a new world and I will keep you posted :-).
Thanks for your support!
~ LynneLynne, you keep posting things I answer to.
