Do you also see a therapist or just the pdoc?

I had something similar happen to me in the beginning. It was like he thought he was the "BEST" and if he couldn't help me, then I might as well move on and referred me to someone else in his practice.

I can't remember HOW I found it, I might've called the different hospitals or other p-doc offices asking where there might be a support group. There's usually always a support group, and a lot of offices have them posted on their bulletin boards or somewhere on their wall.. That's how I found my p-doc that I was with for over 9 years. She was absolutely wonderful. Nothing like finding one thru someone that has similar issues as yours.

No....... you are NOT stuck like this forever. Keep fighting!

Sounds like he's an a hole LOL I would find a new doc cause if your not comfortable with the meds then he should change them I had the same problem when I was on zoloft it wasn't working and they just kept moving it up but it wasn't helping so they finally took me off it an tried something else.

Remember that primary care physicians do not specialize in anxiety disorders. Having worked in a doctor's office for many years, I know that they often just prescribe whatever the reps are pushing. I am not saying they are all like that, but a lot of them are. The best person to prescribe you meds like you need would be a psychiatrist. Not only do they specialize in anxiety disorders, but also, they have a lot more experience prescribing these types of drugs, so they have a better idea of how people react at what doses and so on and so on. Just something for you to think about. However, I do understand if money is an issue that can make it hard to go to a psych. I hope you get some help soon!

WOW cant believe of his attitude. that is absolutely ridiculous!! I would keep fighting it. It was great that u were being honest and if u lied about how ur feeling, how would that be beneficial to u? Sounds like a jerk. Keep getting that help that u need to feel better. Ur worth it!!
