The Next Stage
Labels: antidepressants, depression, therapy 2 commentsI met with a kind lady at the Canadian Mental Health Association today to figure out what my options are regarding my current doctor situation and what else that I could be doing to promote my own recovery. By the end of the meeting the woman laid out a number of options that will help me reclaim my life and get back to where I am suppose to be. With my doctor they are willing to compose a letter saying that they will work on the areas of my life as long as the doctor keeps prescribing my medication plus having the hospital supply my Cymbalta doses. For those of you catching up Cymbalta is a medication that seems to be working for me but since it is considered to be a new med my disability plan does not cover it and there are no generics for this specific anti depressant. Anyway part of me is rather excited about the next step but there is a part of me that remembers the promises other agencies have made and failed to come through. The CMHA does have a waiting list but thankfully it is measured in weeks to months and not years like the others. I hope this program comes though, I hope I can maximize the support and services that they offer, I hope I get my life back. take care

Actually sounds like a very good plan. I think you can trust the CMHA; they have always seemed very reputable to me and I've had good experiences with them.
On another note, I'm finding the Cymbalta side effects wearing off - thank God. Hopefully, my mood will start getting better soon.
