So yesterday I went to the VA for med refills but I also finally asked for an antidepressant, just something to take the edge off as I know it isn't going to be the be-all, cure-all. So my doctor prescribed me a low dose of Zoloft and we will go from there, along with counseling. I agreed to the counseling and who knows, maybe it will help, though what's happened has happened and there is no getting over it. And as weird as it seems, I just don't feel anything about it right now, or about him. Maybe they'll help with that too, except do I really want to just feel anger/sadness/disappointment/etc/etc all the time about it? I think I'd rather just not think about it at all. Of course that may not be healthy in the long run either, so I don't know.
Anyway, the doctor said it should take about a week or so for the Zoloft to really kick in and hopefully make me feel better, and if not then they can tweak the dose upwards. I don't mind it at all but boy I do hope it doesn't make me gain any weight because I sure don't need do that.
All I know is I just want to feel better...and I hope it is possible. We'll see.
