stormdogSpeaking of anxiety and fear, I've been kind of a disaster lately and the doctor I'm seeing for HRT was kind enough to up my dose of Bupropion when I saw her today for my check-in. I don't like adjusting psychiatric meds without input from a psychiatrist, but that's not an option right now. I feel so, so lucky that someone like her is practicing in Regina and I simply don't have enough words for how much she does for me and the trans community here.
I'm now going to be on the dose I was on while I was in the Netherlands. I'm also going to monitor how I'm doing for a while after, and if it's causing any problems I'll go back to the dose I've been on. I was pretty stable on that, and on an upward trajectory before the fire. Miriam thinks I am still, overall, improving, but it doesn't feel like it sometimes and lately the anxiety, panic attacks, and rising agoraphobia have been bad enough that I feel like I need to try something new and/or external to me.
