> Thats okay. I'm sure he would have noticed that you were nervous and I'm sure he is used to people feeling pretty nervous.
Eeek...I can't stand the fact that he was observing me.
> Did he seem alarmed?
No, he didn't seem alarmed. I'm not sure what to expect if he was alarmed? Yell?
> You have only seen him once! Give him a chance. There will never be anyone precisely like your old p-doc...
Yes, I will give him a chance...he is just very different is all. He seems to take my "symptoms" very seriously and seems like he wants to treat them with meds. I think my other pdoc cared about me. She didn't think I needed any meds. She wanted me to learn and grow. Maybe she was a little bit maternal...she believed in me...that I could control myself by myself.

He wants me to take it every night. I asked about as needed usage and he said it wasn't right for me. He only gave me a script for a 2 week supply. I dunno if I'm actually going to take it for longer.
Thanks for the info and the encouragement!
