  • Maybe also schedule with a therapist/counselor for a couple weeks prior, establish a baseline, and have them help you to monitor your mental state while you take the meds.

    It seems like you’re very self aware, which is a blessing/curse I believe I share. It’s important to me to keep some outside perspective that will “speak truth to power”. My therapist won’t lie to me, he won’t put up with me lying to myself, and he knows me well enough to spot the bullshit.

    If you like, think about it like any other medicine with psychoactive properties. My doctors monitor me for the side effects of antidepressants, mostly for manic episodes. I think it’s a smart aspect of the whole plan.
