So, if I were to tell him want I want him to prescribe, this would be it:
1. Keep the .5 mg Xanax t.i.d.
2. EMSAM, start at 6 mg/24 hour
3. Rozerem, 8 mg
4. Sonata (maybe? may not be long-acting enough
5. Provigil, 200 mg
I have a multitude of explanations for each, as well as different approaches for bringing up each drug, just am not sure what to do yet. I do know however, that I am taking this time out to get treatment for myself, for right NOW!
This doesn't mean me asking... what meds can you throw at me to make life easy enough that I can get through school. No. It's... what can you do to help me live my best life?
If he wants to take some aggressive approach to try to push/persuade me to continue with school, so be it, but that's not that angle I'm coming from.
I do, however, have a new and interesting resource. A new professor as of today, a PharmD! (and a verrrry nice nice nice one!) Intelligent too. I even have her email address, since she needed to send lecture notes. What a great opportunity! Yet, soo awkward... I could possibly ask her in a generic way about 1 med (although still weird), but couldn't possibly present my entire case.
