I saw the doctor yesterday....actually, as usual, I ended up seeing the P.A. Somehow, my doctor is ALWAYS behind, and they give the waiting room the option of seeing the Physician's Assistant so you don't have to wait as long. I actually really like her and don't mind seeing her, but I shouldn't have to wait hours past my appointment time to actually see MY doctor. I would have waited it out, but since I had Ryan with me I opted to go ahead and see the P.A. I wasn't sure how long Ryan would be good, and it was a good thing I didn't gamble. She got pretty fussy just after we left.
Anyway, after discussing all of my symptoms they decided that they wanted to do a blood panel to check my hormones. It'll take about a week to get the results back, and in the mean time she suggested I try taking Lexapro. They warned me that it might make me sleepy, but I didn't get that lucky. I took it for the first time this morning. Instead of being sleepy I got really dizzy, which made me nauseous. There's nothing worse than being sick at your stomach...especially while you're having to chase a baby.
When they prescribed the medicine they mentioned having to get used to it, so I'm hoping that after a few days it won't affect me as badly as it did today. On a happier note, as the afternoon has worn on it seems to be wearing off. Hopefully tomorrow it won't make me feel quite so weird!
