Racer,
Thanks for all this info. I asked my internist for suggestions and out of over 50 he picked two. I checked them out with the AMA and state board. Only one is board certified and he was the second choice. I also checked out a few other people. One I think trained in another state with my all time favorite pdoc who I miss terribly! The other is older but a full professor at two medical centers and received some kind of award from a mental health alliance for being an outstanding pdoc.
What on earth should I do now? My internist offered Cymbalta, but I just started crying because I know I won't get the emotional support I will need to be able to try a new drug. He really wants me to see a pdoc. It will be a 10-20 mile drive in heavy traffic. Sigh.....
