Right now, given the nasty time you have had recently, I know that my doc would be seeing me every week until the dosage and medication were suitable. I kept a detailed record of my side effects and moods to share at every appointment.
As it is, it took me 9 months to get to where I am. I celebrated my first week without any kind of doctor appointment at the beginning of this month. AND, I'm having a poopy week so far!! It doesn't always feel like progress, but I take one look at my notes from a year ago, and I know I'm so much better.
Hang in there, Racer. (I bet you are so tired of hearing that, I know.) Work with your doctor and be a better consumer - after all, it's your body and mind that are at stake here. Very valuable commodities, my friend.
