So your mind is put to ease. My wife got in to a pcp today

She was given a script of Zoloft 50 mg once a day. She goes back for an adjustment in 2 weeks.

How or who does my wife approach to see if they will help her with an emotional support animal?

proud of you.

You've done good, diabeticman!

Just keep in mind, it's a journey. There is no quick fix.

Best wishes to both of you!!!

It takes at least a couple of weeks before anti-depressant medication exert the full effect.

My mother's condo is very strictly anti-pet.

But there is a sight impaired resident who has a dog. So I hope you get that approved.

you will get transferred to the nurse to start and that person will probably have to call back but make the request now since the doctor just saw her and has the situation fresh in his/her mind.

Don't wait or the situation won't be as fresh and you need to take action asap.

Good luck!
