      Sorry to hear that you feel worse. I wonder if that might be because you had high expectations of feeling better and this is a bit of an anti-climax? Still these things can and do take time to work. It seems a long time to have to wait - two months - before she wants to check on you. My dr when I first got put on meds needed me there for checking every moth for a while. Now it is three monthly unless I get sick. And next week is the appt. Well hope that you do start to feel better soon. Love and hugs, Marg
