I am seeing my primary care and not a psychiatrist, but my psychologist is the one who made the recommendation for what kind of medication, dose etc. When I saw my doctor she said she wanted to be in touch with my psychologist so she could get a better picture of how things are going and stuff. Based on my talk with her, I'm confident that she knows what she's doing - she seems to have experience, but I'll keep my eyes open and get a referral if I feel like I need it.
I hope this is going to be a good experience, but I also feel like it's important that I realise that just because I started doesn't mean that I can't stop if I feel like it's not for me. But of course I hope this is going to work for me. I'm ready for it to work.
