A little update...

I went to Dr.P (my old doctor) last Thursday. He decided to gradually get me off of Zoloft and on Effexor. I thought this was a good plan. We knew that I had an appointment with Dr.S (went to her for a 2nd opinion) on Wednesday (the 15th). She felt like Effexor was a good antidepressant and that we were headed in the right path. She has decided to increase the Effexor very fast. I will increase every Friday until I get to 150 mg and we could have to increase that. We aren't sure yet. My mama and I were EXTREMELY impressed with Dr.S. She knows her stuff. She is very, very sweet. Needless to say, Dr.P is now out of the picture. :) I am very happy with this decision. Dr.S has also increased my Klonopin to 1mg every morning and 1/2 at 3pm until we get me back to my old self. :) I cannot even begin to say how impressed I was with Dr.S. She is so compassionate and she actually LISTENS!! I don't care if we have to drive 1.5 hours to get to her...I will! I was that impressed! My mama agrees.

I go back to see Dr.S in one month. That way we should have some idea about how Effexor is working for me. Dr.S also agreed with homebound.

About the homebound situation- I was approved by the committee, but we are not waiting on the principal to appove it. He has the final say so. :) I have a good feeling about this.
