This may sound silly, but I'm afraid to ask for a prescription for anything else. My pdoc really sounded annoyed that my therapist had suggested a specific type of medication. I probably shouldn't have mentioned the source of the idea. And even more annoyed that I knew what Cymbalta was, and how similar it was to Effexor in what it targeted. He asked how I knew what Cymbalta was, and didn't sound happy that I was active on an internet bulletin board.
If I were feeling stronger, I might feel up to facing his irritation again, but I don't feel that strong. I think I'd rather look for a new doctor, but I rather like this one in a lot of ways, and the pickings aren't good. I've already fled the two that are considered the best psychopharmacologists in the area because they were rotten matches for me, personality-wise.
So many people are mad at me right now... That's the trouble with depression. You're least willing to be proactive when you most need to be.
