got him an appt and he actually went to a doc for at least a "bridge script". (He finally decided the withdrawal symptoms were way too awful! . . . I tried to tell him.)

Anyway - they decided she wasn't the right therapist for him - but I think he really gets that he must have a therapist. Since she was leaving town for two weeks, she put him back on prozac - even though he doesn't like it that much and it doesn't work all that great - though better than nothing. She knew he would tolerate it and not have some kind of reaction while she was gone and him without a doc, so it's something.

He's going to look for a doc for real this time (I think) while she's gone. She's offered to provide some sessions when she gets back if he hasn't found anyone, and that she'll also try and help him find the right doc for him.

Hopefully he can hang on long enough to get the meds back in his system and start thinking more clearly. He's very muddled right now.

Thanks again for the responses.
