That's that over and done with
Well, after all that worrying, the psychiatrist's appointment yesterday went ok. Apart from the fact that the psychiatrist didn't have my notes. Not a good start to any medical appointment, but particularly a psychiatric one I would have thought. Anyhow, I filled her in. She's increased my antidepressant dosage from 75mg to 150mg, and told me that if I'm not feeling better in three weeks, to add another 75mg.
We talked about a community psychiatric nurse, like I've had in the past, but apparently they are about as easy to find as hen's teeth at the moment. Presumably why the notes not turning up is a regular occurrence. She wants to see me again in six weeks. Presumably I don't need to go back to my GP now, as she's dealt with the anti-depressant situation, and will be letting him know what she's done. I rarely go more than three or four weeks without seeing him anyway, because of the physical health problems. Other than that I'm still feeling pretty lousy. Tired, achey, down, OCD-ing, etc...
