Old Psych
Today I saw my old psych. I haven't seen her in a couple of years, but I'm glad I went today. My therapist has been telling me to go back to her to get a second opinion and I'm glad. She is going to wean me off Celexa and back onto Prozac which worked for a while for me. The thing with psych meds is that they work for a while and then you get tolerant to them and they don't work anymore. I've been off of it for a while now, so hopefully by the time I'm done with my Depakote taper it will work again. My psych even wrote out a timeline of when I should take my Prozac while tapering the Celexa. My regular psych just told me to stop it without saying how to taper (or to taper at all). We were just getting caught up on my new meds and how I've been doing. She's nice... .she remembered me after over a year and a half.
I didn't walk today... I was too tired. I went home and lay down. I had to wait 2 hours for the transportation to pick me up because they didn't call the driver when I called in for pickup, so I didn't get home until 5. Normally that's when I go for my walks, but I choose to nap instead. I didn't fall asleep until late last night, so when i woke up this morning I was tired. By the time I got home I just curled up in bed and napped. Geo was already napping, so I just curled up with him. I slept for a bit then I made dinner.
I gained a bit of weight this morning, but it's probably water weight. I was in my calorie range yesterday and today. I haven't been drinking as much water as I should. I need to get back on top of that. I used to be really good at drinking my water, now I don't even get 8 cups a day. I should be drinking at least 10 since it's summer and I go walk in the heat. I have a hydration belt, which is a fanny pack with 2 water bottles attached to it. I put ice water in them when I go for my walks.

I hope the nap made you feel better. How is Geo doing?
Glad you went and got good info from someone you know and trust and who knows you. Some dr\'s don\'t do the full job. it can be dangerous to just stop some meds. What a shame the dr didn\'t give you all the info that\'s what they are supposed to do.
I hope you get to walk tomorrow. Yes, we have drink our water.
wonderful news about the pschy. and the new meds and the proper way to do it. it is rare to find a doctor you trust and like so hang on to her. hopefully you can walk today, and do make sure you drink a lot of water. hugssss
your old psych sounds very nice and your new one, not so nice. i have a book for weight loss and they have photos of bottles of water and veggies and fruit and they want you to cross off when you eat it all. 8 water, six veggies and i don\'t remember i think 6 fruit....i wish they would have an alternative side, say with a gallon or half gallon jug and the ounces of fruit or veg, it would be easier for me. i can\'t get to a journal each time and i won\'t remember either.
best of luck with your diet!! and the new doctor and meds! xxoo
Great journal...good Dr appointment! :)
