That seems like all-or-nothing thinking. Psychopharm is as much art as science so I'm not sure you can expect them to know immediately what the right answer is, for you. Hopefully, they'll be able to make some suggestions you haven't considered. Then you'll have to work with your doc to implement them. In this sense, the consultation will probably be just the first step of a longer journey, though a potentially very important one.
I know it seems scary right now, but you'll probably feel so much better for having done it. If nothing else, you'll never have that nagging doubt whether it might have been helpful if you didn't do it.
Good luck and stay safe. If you're able to get online while you're there, keep us updated, too.
We're all rooting for you!
