Oh, that's okay, it was just the time of night. for some reason when it's late and dark I get afraid of everything.

Hope things aren't too bad while you're waiting to see them. Are Ts a part of the NHS too? If so, why is it that you could see your old T, but keep gettiing passed around by p-docs?

I took Lithium when I was a teen, don't know why, but I remember nausea and weight gain. It didn't do anything positive for me, so I can understand your reluctance. Have you been on benzos for the anxiety?

>Also I have been passed around more pdocs than I can count on one hand due to the british NHS system - there was only one who listened to me, and I only saw them once. Part of the reason I came off the meds was so that I didn't have to go there any more. I know there are meds out there that could help me, but I dread going back to a pdoc.

It really stinks that you can't see the p-doc of your choice. I sure hope we don't get a health care system like that here. Although I guess the trade off is that the expenses here are high to see the doc of your choice and Rx's are expensive, but I prefer that to someone telling me who I can and can't see. Your GP couldn't Rx the meds you think would help?

Do you think it's all worse because of the long med school hours, or your work at the hospital?Hope the 3 weeks till you see your T goes by quickly, and that you don't have the awful thoughts or any more panic.
