Bakery merchandizer?

I applied for PT bakery team member, and in the interview, they said I'd do better being the merchandizer because it's way more involved and go-go-go than service counter. They said I would get bored and be unhappy at service counter. However when I got my offer letter, it said "Bakery (service counter)."

Is this just the title or did I get pushed to service counter for real?

GLP-1 (Foundayo) and Lithium

Is anyone on both meds together?

I got a Foundayo rx with the stipulation that I discuss it with my psychiatrist before the first dose. Not that it couldn't be prescribed with my lithium but just that it would require closer monitoring. Messaged my psych and she basically said no because of the *potential* for interactions. However, I have read published medical articles on using GLP-1s with lithium, and the recommendations were decrease the lithium before starting/increasing dosages, monitor self for signs of lithium toxicity, and more frequent blood draws to check lithium levels. Boom. I'm all in on this, fully on board. But my psych is not. The problem is she's pretty new to me, only 2 sessions together, an NP (don't respect as much as an MD), BUT... she prescribed me the controlled meds I need. That last part can be hard to find.

Do I wait to see her in person and advocate for myself harder? Or just start the hunt for my unicorn psychiatrist? I'm willing to start cutting down on my lithium to make a GLP-1 work. I only plan on using it for 3-6 months anyway. Ugh. Any insight appreciated.
