Welcome to my therapy blog!

I started this blog to share my experience in getting help for my OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), anxiety and depression. After many years of dealing with these conditions alone, I've finally felt compelled to seek help.  The stress of going through a recent divorce (among other things) has worsened all of my symptoms.  I plan to chronicle my progress through this blog in order to share my personal experiences with others who may be dealing with similar issues.

Third Visit with Psychiatrist

Today I saw my psychiatrist for the third time.  He wanted to review with me to see how well the medications are working.  I told him about the things that have been going on in my life, and that I had gotten somewhat off schedule with the meds because of everything (mainly staying with my mom so much).  He talked to me a bit about it, and I thought he would say to continue with the current dosage, but instead he increased my Prozac from twice a day to three times a day.  He also refilled my Xanax, realizing that I would need it for a while longer due to all the stress in my life at the moment.  So now I am taking 60 mg of Prozac a day.  It should take about 6 weeks to see the full effect of the change, so that's when I'll be returning to see him.
