My family doctor was on the ball and was able to have initial assessments done and gave me what he thought was a good starting dose of medication for 30 days to try until I was able to see a Psychologist which in total only took about 3 weeks or so.
We all communicated well about treatment options because I was under the impression that some medications may turn me into an emotionless lump and I very vocal about that being a concern. In the end we played with my dosage and found what works, this took about 4-6 weeks total. I am fortunate enough to have dual coverage from my employer and my wife’s.
Here is a recent article I has read that I thought was worth sharing as well.
