So, I haven't blogged in a little while. Things got kind of messy as I stepped down off of the Ativan that I was taking. Apparently, the withdrawal that people experience when they wean themselves off of benzodiazepines is pretty intense. My anxiety was peaked on Sunday and Monday.

My doctor has added a mood stabilizer, Seroquel XR, to help augment the SSRI that I'm on. It made me groggy the first few days I was on it (Monday and Tuesday) but it's gotten better.

I guess the big news is that I'm going to try to start working with the Austin OCD Center as an outpatient. It's pretty expensive, and my insurance isn't that great, but my family is going to help out with the costs.

Finally, I had lunch to day with Rachel, and it felt great to get out (and also, to eat hotdogs).
