>JYL, if your doctor is doing his job, then he needs to find the meds that work for you. And to do that, you must be upfront. I know it's hard, I struggle with a similar feeling but I know if I want to feel better, I have to be honest with the shrink and the therapist.
And please don't be ashamed (although who hasn't at one time or another) of needing them. It's not like this is something you can control. Everyone last one of us on this board needs some kind of help, you are not alone!!
Take care!
Mik
PS Bring those crayons if it helps! :-)
