Doctor Appt tomorrow/Mother coming with me

Well, my doctor appointment with my psych is tomorrow and I am really nervous.  I am scared that I will not say the right things and another appt will be wasted.  My mother and my husband are getting feed up with my depression, crying, anxiety, and withdral.  My mother is going to the appointment with me tomorrow and she said she is going to tell all.  My mother thinks it is all in my head, that it is an act, and that I am just lazy.  I am just afraid she is going to tell the doctor that she thinks she should not have to help me anymore.  I cant just do this by myself.  I cant take care of myself let alone my 2 kids.  I am slowly comming off my Hydrocodone and I am on Klonipin.  Is there anything I can ask her to take for anxiety.  Should I stay on lithium?  Maybe my lithium is not high enough to even make a difference.  Should I ask for an antidepressant instead?  My mother and my husband are tired of seeing me cry and get depressed.  What should I do?

When it come to the depression meds let the doctor figure that out one. None  of us here no your med history or your diagnosis .So we cant tell you what meds you should or should not take.

Just be 100 % honest about EVERYTHING so he has all of the information .That way he can really help. Let us know what happens.

You should be honest with the doctor and tell her exactly how you're feeling. And have her make suggestions about the medication you should be on. Sounds like depression to me. Are you off the pain meds or are you tappering?
